[Qemu-devel] Valgrind-PPC on QEMU-PPC

[Lionel Ulmer]

Hi all,

I wanted to test some application on Linux-PPC using Valgrind (don't ask me
why :-) ) so I downloaded the PPC image one can find on FreeOSZoo (the
Debian Sarge one) and compiled Valgrind on it.

When I want to run it, it fails with a nice error message. When asked on the
Valgrind list what to do to debut, I was told to run Valgrind in GDB to see
why it was failing.

And when trying that, I get a killed QEMU session with this error message on
the console:

qemu: fatal: Trace exception is not implemented yet !

Aborted                         

Anyone knows what that means ?

Note that when I try to use GDB with another program (like 'ls') it seems to
work fine - at least it does not crash QEMU...

PS: I tried to install various other distributions on the PPC virtual
    machine and I was not able to boot any of the ISOs I found on the web...
