Valgrind: an enhanced version for pmem
This is the top-level README.md the enhanced version on Valgrind.
This version has support for the new CLFLUSHOPT and CLWB instructions.
It also introduces a new tool called pmemcheck which
validates the correctness of stores made to persistent memory. Be aware
that this is still a prototype tool.
Please see the file COPYING for information on the license.
The layout is identical to the original Valgrind.
The new tool is available in:
- pmemcheck -- the new persistent memory aware tool
All packages necessary to build this modified version of Valgrind are
the same as for the original version.
Once the build system is setup, Valgrind is built using
these command at the top level:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure [--prefix=/where/to/install]
$ make
To build tests:
$ make check
To run all regression tests:
$ make regtest
To run pmemcheck tests only:
$ perl tests/vg_regtest pmemcheck
To install Valgrind run (possibly as root if destination permissions
require that):
$ make install
For more information on Valgrind please refer to the original README
files and the documentation which is available at:
$PREFIX/share/doc/valgrind/manual.html
Where $PREFIX is the path specified with --prefix to configure.
For information on how to run the new tool refer to the appropriate
part of the documentation or type:
$ valgrind --tool=pmemcheck --help
