Description Thomas Russo 2012-03-23 17:10:13 UTC
While this is apparently fixed upstream, the valgrind port in FreeBSD will fail when run with binaries built by gcc 4.6.  The failure is:

Warning: DWARF2 CFI reader: unhandled DW_OP_ opcode 0x2a

While this says it's just a warning, the result is a failure with many subsequent errors such as:

valgrind: m_debuginfo/readdwarf.c:2338 (copy_convert_CfiExpr_tree): Assertion 'srcix >= 0 && srcix < VG_(sizeXA)(srcxa)' failed.

Since this is fixed upstream, it is possible to backport the fix, as for example:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=632666

I am attaching a patch produced according to the scheme suggested in the link above.  My patch file is a kitchen-sink patch, including all diffs needed to address the issue, not a collection of individual patch-file-name-X files as is customary in the ports system.  But it works.

This will probably become unnecessary when the valgrind port is updated to a newer release, but it has been failing in this way for at least a couple of months (I first noticed it when gcc 4.5 was removed from ports and replaced by gcc 4.6).

Fix: Add the file attached to ports/devel/valgrind/files as "patch-valgrind-extra" and rebuild valgrind.  It will no longer fail.

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Build gcc 4.6.x, compile a program with it.  Install devel/valgrind, run valgrind over the program you built.  It will die.
