Developer-visible changes:
* Valgrind's debug-info reading machinery has been majorly overhauled.
It can now correctly establish the addresses for ELF data symbols,
which is something that has never worked properly before now.
Also, Valgrind can now read DWARF3 type and location information for
stack and global variables. This makes it possible to use the
framework to build tools that rely on knowing the type and locations
of stack and global variables, for example exp-Ptrcheck.
Reading of such information is disabled by default, because most
tools don't need it, and because it is expensive in space and time.
However, you can force Valgrind to read it, using the
--read-var-info=yes flag. Memcheck, Helgrind and DRD are able to
make use of such information, if present, to provide source-level
descriptions of data addresses in the error messages they create.
