Need help profiling with Valgrind

[ba_f]

Sorry for the mail before, this was a mistake.

Next try:


i run into an Error in my l4re-App.
Till now, i did printf()-Debugging, but it is at its limit in this case.

The Error message is the following:
> L4Re[rm]: unhandled write page fault @7ffff300 pc=15c7a8

However, with printf() i can't make it up to specific code.
But, there is a function with some if-else stuff, and if i comment some 
lines out, the Error doesnt appear. Funny, printf() tells me, that the 
commented code never executes. i.e. the else-part is never ever 
executed, but the program still fails when it is not commented out.

So, i'm not sure what to try next.
Does Valgrind work here?

And what about the Valgrind in the Snapshot?
It has some strange Makefile. Does this work for a ARM system?

> build; fi

Or can i run my bootstrap.raw on an standard ARM Linux?

Anything else to try besides Valgrind?


Thanks
