Long story short: I wrote some code I wanted to test with Valgrind and got the message saying that some syscall wrappers where not available. Since the IPC stuff was quite trivial and my concerns where about another part of the code, I started hacking these system calls in order to avoid Valgrind quitting when they where called so that it could check the 'important' part of my code. Then, I wondered how hard it would have been to make a complete IPC syscalls support for FreeBSD in Valgrind, unfortunately I could not get much time to take on this and I decided to push my patches 'as it' at some location I could get them back is necessary. ... and it looks like Google indexed it. Basically, the code is copy-pasta with minor tweaks of other parts of Valgrind. It is NOT production-ready. It does not build because I pushed it after trying to add support for all message queues and semaphores syscalls after testing my program with the 2-3 system calls that where missing for it to run. I took a few minutes to fix the build (at least on 8-STABLE amd64, new patches are here: http://people.freebsd.org/~romain/valgrind/2011-10-08/ ) but I have not even tried to test anything, so beware! To use these patches, create a 'files' directory in the Valgrind port and put them there, then install the port as usual. If you would like to work on expanding IPC support in Valgrind on FreeBSD, please write me a line. Maybe we can coordinate some work ;-) Thanks!
