/*--- An overview of leak checking.                        ---*/
/*------------------------------------------------------------*/

// Leak-checking is a directed-graph traversal problem.  The graph has
// two kinds of nodes:
// - root-set nodes:
//   - GP registers of all threads;
//   - valid, aligned, pointer-sized data words in valid client memory,
//     including stacks, but excluding words within client heap-allocated
//     blocks (they are excluded so that later on we can differentiate
//     between heap blocks that are indirectly leaked vs. directly leaked).
// - heap-allocated blocks.  A block is a mempool chunk or a malloc chunk
//   that doesn't contain a mempool chunk.  Nb: the terms "blocks" and
//   "chunks" are used interchangeably below.
//
// There are two kinds of edges:
// - start-pointers, i.e. pointers to the start of a block;
// - interior-pointers, i.e. pointers to the interior of a block.
//
// We use "pointers" rather than "edges" below.
//
// Root set nodes only point to blocks.  Blocks only point to blocks;
// a block can point to itself.
//
// The aim is to traverse the graph and determine the status of each block.
//
// There are 9 distinct cases.  See memcheck/docs/mc-manual.xml for details.
// Presenting all nine categories to the user is probably too much.
// Currently we do this:
// - definitely lost:  case 3
// - indirectly lost:  case 4, 9
// - possibly lost:    cases 5..8
// - still reachable:  cases 1, 2
// 
// It's far from clear that this is the best possible categorisation;  it's
// accreted over time without any central guiding principle.

/*------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*--- XXX: Thoughts for improvement.                       ---*/
/*------------------------------------------------------------*/

// From the user's point of view:
// - If they aren't using interior-pointers, they just have to fix the
//   directly lost blocks, and the indirectly lost ones will be fixed as
//   part of that.  Any possibly lost blocks will just be due to random
//   pointer garbage and can be ignored.
// 
// - If they are using interior-pointers, the fact that they currently are not
//   being told which ones might be directly lost vs. indirectly lost makes
//   it hard to know where to begin.
// 
// All this makes me wonder if new option is warranted:
// --follow-interior-pointers.  By default it would be off, the leak checker
// wouldn't follow interior-pointers and there would only be 3 categories:
// R, DL, IL.
// 
// If turned on, then it would show 7 categories (R, DL, IL, DR/DL, IR/IL,
// IR/IL/DL, IL/DL).  That output is harder to understand but it's your own
// damn fault for using interior-pointers...
//
// ----
//
// Also, why are two blank lines printed between each loss record?
// [bug 197930]
//
// ----
//
// Also, --show-reachable is a bad name because it also turns on the showing
// of indirectly leaked blocks(!)  It would be better named --show-all or
// --show-all-heap-blocks, because that's the end result.
// We now have the option --show-leak-kinds=... which allows to specify =all.
//
// ----
//
// Also, the VALGRIND_LEAK_CHECK and VALGRIND_QUICK_LEAK_CHECK aren't great
// names.  VALGRIND_FULL_LEAK_CHECK and VALGRIND_SUMMARY_LEAK_CHECK would be
// better.
//
// ----
//
// Also, VALGRIND_COUNT_LEAKS and VALGRIND_COUNT_LEAK_BLOCKS aren't great as
// they combine direct leaks and indirect leaks into one.  New, more precise
// ones (they'll need new names) would be good.  If more categories are
// used, as per the --follow-interior-pointers option, they should be
// updated accordingly.  And they should use a struct to return the values.
//
// ----
//
// Also, for this case:
//
//  (4)  p4      BBB ---> AAA
// 
// BBB is definitely directly lost.  AAA is definitely indirectly lost.
// Here's the relevant loss records printed for a full check (each block is
// 16 bytes):
// 
// ==20397== 16 bytes in 1 blocks are indirectly lost in loss record 9 of 15
// ==20397==    at 0x4C2694E: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:177)
// ==20397==    by 0x400521: mk (leak-cases.c:49)
// ==20397==    by 0x400578: main (leak-cases.c:72)
// 
// ==20397== 32 (16 direct, 16 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely
// lost in loss record 14 of 15
// ==20397==    at 0x4C2694E: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:177)
// ==20397==    by 0x400521: mk (leak-cases.c:49)
// ==20397==    by 0x400580: main (leak-cases.c:72)
// 
// The first one is fine -- it describes AAA.
// 
// The second one is for BBB.  It's correct in that 16 bytes in 1 block are
// directly lost. It's also correct that 16 are indirectly lost as a result,
// but it means that AAA is being counted twice in the loss records.  (It's
// not, thankfully, counted twice in the summary counts).  Argh.
// 
// This would be less confusing for the second one:
// 
// ==20397== 16 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 14
// of 15 (and 16 bytes in 1 block are indirectly lost as a result;  they
// are mentioned elsewhere (if --show-reachable=yes or indirect is given
// in --show-leak-kinds=... !))
// ==20397==    at 0x4C2694E: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:177)
// ==20397==    by 0x400521: mk (leak-cases.c:49)
// ==20397==    by 0x400580: main (leak-cases.c:72)
// 
// But ideally we'd present the loss record for the directly lost block and
// then the resultant indirectly lost blocks and make it clear the
// dependence.  Double argh.

/*--- The actual algorithm.                                ---*/
/*------------------------------------------------------------*/

// - Find all the blocks (a.k.a. chunks) to check.  Mempool chunks require
//   some special treatment because they can be within malloc'd blocks.
// - Scan every word in the root set (GP registers and valid
//   non-heap memory words).
//   - First, we skip if it doesn't point to valid memory.
//   - Then, we see if it points to the start or interior of a block.  If
//     so, we push the block onto the mark stack and mark it as having been
//     reached.
// - Then, we process the mark stack, repeating the scanning for each block;
//   this can push more blocks onto the mark stack.  We repeat until the
//   mark stack is empty.  Each block is marked as definitely or possibly
//   reachable, depending on whether interior-pointers were required to
//   reach it.
// - At this point we know for every block if it's reachable or not.
// - We then push each unreached block onto the mark stack, using the block
//   number as the "clique" number.
// - We process the mark stack again, this time grouping blocks into cliques
//   in order to facilitate the directly/indirectly lost categorisation.
// - We group blocks by their ExeContexts and categorisation, and print them
//   if --leak-check=full.  We also print summary numbers.
//
// A note on "cliques":
// - A directly lost block is one with no pointers to it.  An indirectly
//   lost block is one that is pointed to by a directly or indirectly lost
//   block.
// - Each directly lost block has zero or more indirectly lost blocks
//   hanging off it.  All these blocks together form a "clique".  The
//   directly lost block is called the "clique leader".  The clique number
//   is the number (in lc_chunks[]) of the clique leader.
// - Actually, a directly lost block may be pointed to if it's part of a
//   cycle.  In that case, there may be more than one choice for the clique
//   leader, and the choice is arbitrary.  Eg. if you have A-->B and B-->A
//   either A or B could be the clique leader.
// - Cliques cannot overlap, and will be truncated to avoid this.  Eg. if we
//   have A-->C and B-->C, the two cliques will be {A,C} and {B}, or {A} and
//   {B,C} (again the choice is arbitrary).  This is because we don't want
//   to count a block as indirectly lost more than once.
//
// A note on 'is_prior_definite': 
// - This is a boolean used in various places that indicates if the chain
//   up to the prior node (prior to the one being considered) is definite.
// - In the clique == -1 case: 
//   - if True it means that the prior node is a root-set node, or that the
//     prior node is a block which is reachable from the root-set via
//     start-pointers.
//   - if False it means that the prior node is a block that is only
//     reachable from the root-set via a path including at least one
//     interior-pointer.
// - In the clique != -1 case, currently it's always True because we treat
//   start-pointers and interior-pointers the same for direct/indirect leak
//   checking.  If we added a PossibleIndirectLeak state then this would
//   change.
