Here's a patch which stops a couple of crashes we encountered in alloca checking. The failures were brought on by using libunwind with the included test16...

Hi Marty, [Sorry for the delay in responding. Between work, holidays and home life, I've only just got around to giving my Inbox a thorough examination!] The...
I have built mpatrol for CentOS 5. When I use the library statically all the features (profiling and tracing) are working fine. However with --dynamic option...
I've built Mpatrol 1.4.8 and am trying to run the tests/fail/test1.c program on our MIPS target(uclibc-2.6.15-gcc version 4.0.4) With the simplest malloc()...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0040e0fc in __mp_copymem (p=0x7f79d0d8, q=0x7f79d070, l=16, c=0 '\0', f=AT_MEMCPY, s=0x0, t=0x0, u=0,...
Hello Raghavendra, I believe you need to use one argument to mpatrol to get it to use the MPATROL_OPTIONS. Yes I know its unintuitive slightly -- I spent weeks...
I dont understand the mpatrol source code, but I believe you could try to debug this a little bit. For example, this one looks like erring when __mp_copymem()...
Hi Bill, Yes, Gaurang is right, the fault is 99% likely to be with the MIPS stack unwinding code. I got mpatrol working with this on a few MIPS platforms ...
Graeme, There's a libunwind library that Daniel Jacobowitz submitted to git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libunwind, on 02-05-2008. The lastest stable release of...
Graeme, Apparently, I need the libunwind library updates done by Daniel Jacobowitz on 2008-02-05. When I try and get the snapshot, I get a tar.gz file that's...
Graeme, Thanks for the timely response. Daniel said you were working on a new release, which you may release in a few weeks? Would the MIPS patch be applied...
Hi folks, After six and a half years of waiting the 1.5.0 release of mpatrol has just been completed and released to the CVS repository at SourceForge, ...
Hi Bill, I'm afraid I can't help you with the libunwind problems you've been having (not knowing much about it myself), but I've just released mpatrol 1.5.0 ...
Graeme, It looks like here hasn't been a new release of libunwind with merged development changes in it since 2005-04-20. So, I'm not sure which development...
Bill, As I has said in the other email, MontaVista has made modifications to mpatrol & libunwind to support MIPS platforms. They include them in their latest...
Hi Bill, ... Yes, the ARM port is very preliminary, meaning that it should build and run on ARM, but not support all advanced features, especially stack...
Graeme, I've got MPatrol mostly working on the MIPS. The mpatrol/src/stack.c function __mp_getframe(stackinfo *p) doesn't appear to have an implementation (in...
Isn't that illegal? Oh I see that mpatrol is covered by LGPL, not GPL. But even then, any modifications/enhancements to mpatrol, should be public. Graeme, isnt...
Hi Bill, Sorry for the delay in replying. That's good news about mpatrol on MIPS. The unwinding_in_progress variable was part of Daniel's patch for libunwind ...
Hi Gaurang, To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. Here is what I think is the relevant part from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html "Does the GPL require...
... You are precisely correct. Be careful doing this, though; my understanding is that it's completely OK for this to have negative consequences on your ...
Graeme, I tried the key mechanism, but it didn't seem to work. Thought I'd try the pthread mutex mechanism. Is Mpatrol itself a big memory hog? I didn't think...
Can anyone help me install mpatrol 1.4.8 on CDENTOS-5.2 I failed to do this from source and autoconf aswell. Thanks RAJA Raja G Pavan Kumar Bangalore India...
Hey, I'm using mpatrol to check a bit the leaks in a lib. First, i would like to mention that when I use mpatrol installer on SF, the installed mpatrol does...
Hey, I have just seen that mpatrol has been updated. That is a great news. I plan to use it on Windows, as it seems that it's the best mem checker on that OS. ...
