Dyninst 8.x Downloads

Version 8.2.1

^{Released on October 31, 2014}
Improvements from 8.2

• Fixes for assorted tail call parsing bugs, including incorrect handling of Windows incremental linking stubs.
• Fixes for assorted instruction decoding bugs related to sizes of operands.
• Fixes for graceful failure when we encounter bogus line information (for offsets outside of code regions).
• Fix for DWARF parsing: we now support location list base address selectors.
• Fix for XMM saves: don't exclude entry/exit/call points from liveness analysis and independent register saving code.
• Fix for CMake's FindLibIberty: consistent variables with other FindLibFoo packages.
• Fix to handle linux-gate and linux-vdso showing up in link maps.

Distribution Changes
Since version 8.2, the DyninstAPI source distribution includes all DyninstAPI components as well. Separate components may still be built independently, and our new support for out-of-source builds allows you to easily build your desired subset of components where they're needed.
