Description Jofo 2017-03-03 12:41:28 UTC
I have valgrind-3.13.0.SVN installed from SVN today (3rd March 2017 around 13:00 CET) and I am still having issues with VEX causing an error when trying to debug our application. Running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64 on a system with two Xeon E5-2620 V4 and 64GB RAM.

Command line: valgrind --tool=memcheck --log-file=valgrind.out ./ourApp

Result:
VEX temporary storage exhausted.
Pool = TEMP,  start 0x38fbfd68 curr 0x39482bd8 end 0x394848a7 (size 5000000)

vex: the `impossible' happened:
   VEX temporary storage exhausted.
Increase N_{TEMPORARY,PERMANENT}_BYTES and recompile.
vex storage: T total 8895652872 bytes allocated
vex storage: P total 640 bytes allocated

valgrind: the 'impossible' happened:
   LibVEX called failure_exit().
