ABSTRACT
This paper describes experiments with the freely available tool Helgrind, results obtained by using it for debugging a server application comprising 500 kLOC. We present improvements to the run time analysis of C++ programs that result in a dramatic reduction of false warnings.

Fault Detection in Multi-Threaded C++ Server Applications
Due to increasing demands in processing power on the one hand, but the physical limit on CPU clock speed on the other hand, multi-threaded programming is becoming more important in current applications. Unfortunately, multi-threaded programs are prone ...
Runtime race detection for multi-threaded C++ server applications
SE'07: Proceedings of the 25th conference on IASTED International Multi-Conference: Software EngineeringMulti-threaded programming is becoming more important, because physical limits prevent further speedup by increasing clock speed. Therefore, it is required to make use of multiple processors. Unfortunately, multi-threading is error-prone and hard to ...

PADTAD '08: Proceedings of the 6th workshop on Parallel and distributed systems: testing, analysis, and debuggingMulti-core chips enable parallel processing for general purpose applications. Unfortunately, parallel programs may contain synchronization defects. Such defects are difficult to detect due to nondeterministic interleavings of parallel threads. Current ...
