| The major news, as per the title, is that a port to FreeBSD arm64 (or aarch64) is now ready. | ||||||
| The next steps are to get it reviewed and pushed upstream. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Valgrind 3.23 due out at the end of April 2024 and package:devel/valgrind[] will be updated shortly after that. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| package:devel/valgrind-devel[] will get an update as soon as I've pushed the changes for arm64. | ||||||

| `--track-fds=yes` now checks for and warns about attempts to close a file decriptor more than once. | ||||||
| Handling of closefrom has been improved to use this feature. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| There are some important fixes for FreeBSD 15, in particular handling the new `libsys`. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Here is a list of smaller bugfixes: | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| * Support for FreeBSD 13.3 has been added. | ||||||
| * Added a redirect for `reallocarray`. | ||||||
| * Several fixes for `aio*` functions. | ||||||
| * Added a redirect for `memccpy`. | ||||||
| * There is a fix for `_umtx_op OP_ROBUST_LISTS`. | ||||||
| * Added redirs for C23 `free_sized` and `free_aligned_sized`. | ||||||

Suggested change
There was a problem hiding this comment. No, it should be present continuous, this is something that gets done at every startup. Previously this was hard coded and did not respect the guest stack protection flags. |
||||||
| * Fixes for `--sanity-level-3` and above (only used for Valgrind self-testing at runtime). | ||||||
| * Several fixes to checking done for `semctl`. | ||||||
| * Fixed argument checking for `utrace`. | ||||||
| * Fixed argument checking for `clock_nanosleep`. | ||||||
