            Bug ID: 464103
           Summary: Enhancement: add a client request to DHAT to mark
                    memory to be histogrammed
    Classification: Developer tools
           Product: valgrind
           Version: 3.21 GIT
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: dhat
          Assignee: jsew...@acm.org
          Reporter: pjfl...@wanadoo.fr
  Target Milestone: ---

I often get DHAT results that refer to data structures larger than the default
1024 byte limit.

One fix is to recompile DHAT with a higher limit.

It would be nice to also have a client request, so that the guest code could be
instrumented. The flow woule be then
1. Do a normal DHAT run to identify heap hotspots
2. If some are larger than 1K then instrument:

struct Foo *foo = malloc(sizeof(struct Foo));
DHAT_HISTOGRAM_MEMORY(foo, sizeof(struct Foo));

3. Recompile guest and rerun
