+# IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2011-12-04
+
+ <mcsim> has anyone used splice on hurd?
+ <mcsim> splice -> splint
+ <youpi> not that I know of
+ <mcsim> this is tool for statically checking C programs
+ <mcsim> seems I made it work
+ <braunr> hm i realli i personnally dislike such tools a lot, but sometimes
+ it might help
+ <braunr> hello hurd people
+ <mcsim> braunr: hello
+ <braunr> mcsim: duma may be helpful as replacement for the memcheck part of
+ valgrind
+ <mcsim> defpager uses it's own dynamic memory allocator, which uses
+ vm_allocate/vm_deallocate as backing store? Am I able to use duma in such
+ case?
+ <braunr> you will have to adapt it
+ <braunr> but it's already designed to handle custom allocators
+ <braunr> iirc
+ <braunr> btw, are there special flags for that memory which the pager
+ allocates ?
+ <braunr> e.g. to use wired memory ?
+ <mcsim> yes, wired memory
+ <braunr> you'll have to change that in duma then
+ <braunr> but apart from such details, it should be straightforward
+ <antrik> braunr: I have no idea about duma; but if you think it's a useful
+ tool, please add it to open_issues/code_analysis.mdwn
+ <antrik> (I guess we should have a "proper" page listing useful debugging
+ tools...)
