digitalmars.D - valgrind profiling unrecognized instruction

reply =?UTF-8?B?IsOYaXZpbmQi?= <oivind.loe gmail.com> writes:
I read somewhere that I should be able to profile my D executable
"dboss-test" with valgrind. I have tried using the linux 'perf'
tool, and it works, but I find its output difficult to work with.
I am trying to call my program through valgrind like this:

valgrind --tool=callgrind ./dboss-test

However, it fails with the following errors, talking about an
unrecognized instruction. Anyone know of a workaround / fix for
this?

==13666== Your program just tried to execute an instruction that
Valgrind
==13666== did not recognise.  There are two possible reasons for
this.
==13666== 1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a
non-code
==13666==    location.  If you are running Memcheck and you just
saw a
==13666==    warning about a bad jump, it's probably your
program's fault.
==13666== 2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't
handle it,
==13666==    i.e. it's Valgrind's fault.  If you think this is
the case or
==13666==    you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try
to fix it.
==13666== Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal
which will
==13666== probably kill your program.
==13666==
==13666== Process terminating with default action of signal 4
(SIGILL)

Note that you can pipe the valgrind outputs through ddemangle (in 
DMD distribution) to get correct symbol references.
