Description Paul Wise 2008-12-26 06:53:29 UTC

I would really like to see the logrind 2 thing merged:

http://www.atomice.com/blog/?page_id=7
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.debugging.valgrind/1724

I want a way to compare the line-by-line execution path trace of an application before & after a patch or between architectures and this would be perfect for that. I'd like to be able to do this with diff, so text-based execution traces would be best unless a GUI like kcachegrind adds support for trace comparison.

Sorry, overcome by events. 15 years old. Both links are dead and all I can find are a couple of PDFs

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277298909_Logrind_2_A_program_trace_framework

Can't find the source anywhere, and I don't imagine that it has been maintained for the past decade or more.

I noticed some mails in the list archives that mention logrind:

https://sourceforge.net/p/valgrind/mailman/search/?q=logrind

In particular this one announcing the project:

https://sourceforge.net/p/valgrind/mailman/message/10332907/
https://sourceforge.net/p/valgrind/mailman/valgrind-users/thread/025701c4838d%2438b5c340%240207a8c0%40avocado/#msg10332907

It links to the web page for the project. That is down, but was captured by archive.org:

https://web.archive.org/web/20050214053429/http://atomice.com/logrind2.html

It has also captured the source code links from that page, a report and a user guide:

https://web.archive.org/web/20050109111455if_/http://atomice.com:80/snapshots/valgrind-20040619.tar.bz2
https://web.archive.org/web/20050108203820if_/http://atomice.com/snapshots/insight-20040619.tar.bz2

https://web.archive.org/web/20041016081912if_/http://www.atomice.com:80/downloads/userguide.pdf

Since this hasn't been maintained since 2004, it likely would require a lot of effort to merge this, so feel free to re-close this request if you don't want to look at it. I just thought I should make this comment for completeness.

I'm trying to get down the backlog of ancient bugs that are "overcome by events" and that are pretty much impossible for us to deal with.

I'll take a look at the links and see if at least the source can be put somewhere more accessible.
