Dyninst 10.2.0

Enhancements

• Improve analysis and instrumentation of large binaries
  • Handle ELF extended numbering
  • Fix memory leaks that prevent instrumentation for large binaries
• Improve parallel code parsing and dwarf parsing
  • Implement control flow trimming that removes wrong edges
  • Remove mutual exclusion in constructing index structures from basic blocks to functions
  • Improve jump table analysis involving global variables
• ARM binary rewriting for dynamically-linked objects
• Improve DWARF parsing
  • Support abstract origin attribute
  • Support one machine instruction address mapped to multiple source lines
  • Support parsing of relocatable objects
• Remove usage of GNU extensions for varargs
• Handle "ghost" threads in proccontrol
  • "Ghost" threads are stopped threads killed by the OS (or user) before proccontrol continues them

Bug fixes

• Fix instrumentation regressions, including libc-2.29 on ARM, shared libraries instrumentation, corruption to registers
• Fix rewriting static binaries about searching libgcc.a on x86 and aarch64
• Cleanup undefined C++ behaviors
• Many fixes to code examples in the documentation

Build changes

• Use modern CMake features to enforce language support at build time
• Add "sterile build" option to prevent Dyninst from building its own dependencies
• Improve Clang support when building Intel TBB from source

Deprecations

• Removed support for running on IBM Blue Gene
