Hi all
I would like to take on this project. Since there is already a port in
FreeBSD, I would start by looking at FreeBSD's valgrind port, and adopt
the changes from that to NetBSD. There are four patches in the FreeBSD port.
Most of these patches are for the uses of regparm(). In addition, for FreeBSD
4.x, it requires USE_LDT option in the kernel to perform pointer analysis. Do
these patches apply to NetBSD too? What are the major difference regarding
memory accesses between FreeBSD and NetBSD? Thanks.
