track undefined moves to identify origins of uninit errors #170

PR 503222

xref the new Memcheck --track_origins feature

this would involve tracking uninit moves so that if an uninit error is raised the earliest operation touching the uninit data can be identified

Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/drmemory/issues/detail?id=170

Also valueable: print the last system call which could init this memory range (for example, the last syscall that was given a pointer to the same allocation)

that's more for developers and not for users: users shouldn't have to analyze missing syscalls. eventually all the syscall info will be there. also, for unknown syscalls, when it's as simple as a primary parameter, the existing unknown syscall handling will already avoid uninits.

As we have discussed offline in the past, for 32-bit we do not have a concrete path forward for this feature as we are unlikely to always fit multiple shadows and we do not want to serialize all threads. We will likely only implement it for 64-bit.
