mpatrol

This release adds better logging for diagnostic messages, much improved autoconf, automake and libtool support, and provisional HTML log file support with the HTML option. The library now checks to ensure that there were not any problems writing the profiling and tracing output files. mpatrol also now has better Tru64 thread-safe support.

The problems with building Windows DLLs were fixed. The problems with the stack
unwinding on Tru64 were fixed. The mpsym command now works on LynxOS. The
mpedit command now works on FreeBSD and supports the elvis, pico, and nano
editors. The ability to build a Debian package was added.

Many new arguments that are passed to prologue, epilogue, and low memory
callback functions were added. The tools that already use them were updated.
The Windows DLL version of the mpatrol library now correctly exports the C++
functions defined within it. The maximum input line length for the mptrace and
mleak commands was increased due to the excessive length of some C++
identifiers. The UNIX Makefile was improved when building mptrace with GUI
support. The ability to build full documentation from the source code was
added. Skeleton autoconf, automake, and libtool support was added.

Added the 'CHECKFORK' option in order to fix the 'fork()' problem on UNIX platforms explicitly. This had to be added because the fix in the previous release did not work for multithreaded programs on Linux. Added the 'HD_CONTENTS' flag to the heapdiff tool. Added the '--source' option to the mptrace command.

Ability to read, write, compare and remove allocation contents files added. Support added for automatic compilation when 'TARGET=TARGET_ANY' and 'ARCH=ARCH_ANY' and added information about the platform in the log file. SuSE Linux is now supported. Ability to trace reallocations added. Fixed a problem on UNIX platforms when 'fork()' was called and the child process continued to make memory allocations. Fixed a bug when using 'alloca()' without full stack support. Added the '--hatf-file' option to the mptrace command to write out the trace file in HATF format. Also added running statistics to the '--verbose' option. Added the '--max-stack' option to the mleak command.
