cheusov 6ae1bf71fd Update to 0.17.0
Long options have been removed from all programs.
  Use standard single-letter POSIX-compatible options.

  lmdbg-sym:
    - Doesn't accept progname as an argument anymore.
      Use -P option instead.
    - option --with-so was replaced with -s.

  SORRY FOR INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH PREVIOUS RELEASES.

                                    ----------------------------------

  lmdbg:
    - -M option was added. lmdbg(1) is now a meta tools which is able
      to not only collecting memory leaks. See the manual page for
      details.
    - -n option was added
    - -T and -B options were added
    - Regression tests were added for -M

  A lot of improvements and grammar fixes in manual pages.
  Thanks to Nikolai Krot for this.

  lmdbg-stat, tests/test.sh:
    - Fixes for Solaris

  lmdbg-run:
    - options -T and -B were added to lmdbg-run.
    - option -n was added. It disables logging on startup.
      Sending SIGUSR1 signal to the process enables it.
    -f option was added, synonym for -p.

  lmdbg-grep.1:
    - documentation for "bytes" variable

  If set, LMDBG_MODULES_AWK and LMDBG_STRIP_AWK environment variables
  are used as a path to AWK interpreter by "lmdbg-modules" and
  "lmdbg-strip" programs respectively.

  More regression tests

LMDBG is a collection of small tools for collecting and analyzing logs of
malloc/realloc/memalign/free etc. function calls. LMDBG generates full
stacktraces and separates the logging process from analysis, thus allowing
you to analyze application on a per-module basis. Simple but powerful tools
for analisis are also provided.
lmdbg - Meta tool, all in one.
lmdbg-run - Creates malloc/realloc/free/memalign/... logs
lmdbg-sym - Converts addresses to 'file.c:NUM func_name'
lmdbg-leak - Checks for memory leaks
lmdbg-stat - Gathers statistical information about memory allocations
lmdbg-grep - Greps the stackframes
lmdbg-strip - Strips the stackframes
lmdbg-module - Enrichs the stackframes with a module name
lmdbg-sort - Sorts the stackframes by e.g. total allocated bytes,
a number of memory allocations etc.
lmdbg-sysleaks - Filters out system memory leaks e.g. libc's
