New patch for WINE support in valgrind uploaded to sourceforge

[Adam Gundy]

A new version of the patch to valgrind needed to support WINE has been uploaded
to Sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=710006&grou...

It should apply cleanly to current valgrind CVS.

This version of the patch will now work with an unmodified WINE CVS version. This is because
it now _fully_ implements clone() support - ie it really does create system level threads.

Currently only one thread can run at a time, so there are no locking issues in the main valgrind
code.

To use with WINE, you need to get a CVS checkout of valgrind, then apply the patch using:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/valgrind
 cvs login
 cvs co valgrind
 patch -p0 < valgrind-wine.patch.13

then build and install valgrind:

autogen.sh
  ./configure
  make install

Get a CVS checkout of WINE by following the instructions at:

http://www.winehq.com/?page=cvs

then configure (for debugging) and build:

CFLAGS=-g ./configure
  make depend && make install

now you can start looking for bugs in WINE, and bugs in your own (debug) Windows code.
Copy any DLLs/EXEs to somewhere WINE can get to them, plus copy any .PDB files that go with
them into the same directory.

Run WINE under valgrind using eg:

valgrind --num-callers=30 --workaround-gcc296-bugs=yes wine notepad.exe

or even:

valgrind --num-callers=30 --workaround-gcc296-bugs=yes --gdb-attach=yes wine notepad.exe

enjoy.

Seeya,
 Adam

Real Programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write,
it should be hard to read, and even harder to modify.
These are all my own opinions.
