1.9h beta (24 February 2009)
----------------------------
Enhancements:
+ Added support to work with Visual Studio 2008.
Known Bugs/Restrictions:
+ Same bugs/restrictions as version 1.9f.
1.9g beta (16 April 2008)
----------------------------
Bugs Fixed:
+ Another deadlock condition may occur when loading DLLs into the process
being debugged. Special thanks to Eric Bissonnette and Kristian Paradis for
contributing this patch.
Known Bugs/Restrictions:
+ Same bugs/restrictions as version 1.9f.
1.9f beta (18 November 2006)
----------------------------
Bugs Fixed:
+ Deadlocks or access violations may occur when loading DLLs into
multithreaded processes.
+ In multithreaded programs, if the main thread terminates before other
threads in the process, then Visual Leak Detector may cause an access
violation while generating the memory leak report.
Known Bugs/Restrictions:
+ Memory allocations made through calls to functions loaded from a DLL using
delayed loading may not be detected.
+ Support for programs that use MFC 7.0 or MFC 7.1 is not complete yet. Some
memory leaks from such MFC-based programs may not be detected.
+ Visual Leak Detector may report leaks internal to Visual Leak Detector
if the main thread of the process terminates while other threads are still
running.
+ If more than one copy of the same C Runtime DLL is loaded in the process at
the same time, then some leaks may go undetected (note that loading more
than one copy of the C Runtime DLL into a process at the same time is
probably a bad idea to begin with).
1.9e beta (16 November 2006)
----------------------------
New Features/Enhancements:
+ Added a master on/off switch configuration option to vld.ini that can be
used to completely disable Visual Leak Detector.
Bugs Fixed:
+ Numerous deadlock situations. The multithread synchronization scheme has
been completely re-written which should make deadlocks in VLD much less
likely to happen.
+ An access violation will occur in VLD if GetProcAddress is called to obtain
an export's address by ordinal, for certain libraries.
+ Problems may potentially occur when the program being debugged exits due to
the Debug Help Library having been detached from the process too early.
Symptoms might include access violation exceptions or other erratic behavior
just as the program exits and while VLD is generating the leak report.
+ The copy of vld.ini installed in VLD's installation directory overrides any
other copies of vld.ini that are created, even copies placed in the
working directory of the program being debugged.
Known Bugs/Restrictions:
+ Memory allocations made through calls to functions loaded from a DLL using
delayed loading may not be detected.
+ Support for programs that use MFC 7.0 or MFC 7.1 is not complete yet. Some
memory leaks from such MFC-based programs may not be detected.
+ If more than one copy of the same C Runtime DLL is loaded in the process at
the same time, then some leaks may go undetected (note that loading more
than one copy of the C Runtime DLL into a process at the same time is
probably a bad idea to begin with).
1.9d beta (12 November 2006)
----------------------------
Bugs Fixed:
+ Failed assertion "freed == TRUE" pops up when running a program with VLD
without the debugger attached.
+ Some, but not all, multithreaded programs that dynamically load and unload
many DLLs have been known to experience problems, such as deadlocks or
exceptions, when used with VLD.
+ Failed assertion "exportmodule != NULL" pops up when running some programs
with VLD.
+ VLD fails to show file names or function names in the memory leak report for
some programs that are linked with the dynamic CRT library.
+ Access violation exceptions are thrown, but caught by the operating system,
when running some programs with VLD.
1.9c beta (6 November 2006)
---------------------------
New Features/Enhancements:
+ New NSIS installer makes setting up and using VLD much easier.
+ No need to manually copy dbghelp.dll to the right location, VLD will always
find the right version.
+ MFC 8.0 is now fully supported.
+ The memory leak report is now written to the output window much faster.
Support has been added, through a new configuration option, to slow down
the report output for older versions of Visual Studio that have trouble
when it is written too quickly.
Bugs Fixed:
+ All known compatibilities with Visual Studio 2005 have been eliminated.
+ Leaks from calloc may go undetected.
+ Leaks from vector new operator may go undetected.
+ VLDDisable and VLDEnable do not work as expected; some memory leaks that
should be ignored by VLD due to a previous call to VLDDisable are still
reported.
+ Unloading and reloading a previously loaded module may cause leaks that
occur in the module after it was reloaded to go undetected.
+ If vld.h is included in a release build, then the compiler will generate
errors if the VLDEnable or VLDDisable APIs have been used.
1.9b beta (26 October 2006)
---------------------------
Bugs Fixed:
+ Source compiles under Visual Studio 2005 and the binaries are compatible
with applications that link with the Visual Studio 2005 C Runtime Library
(msvcr80d.dll).
Known Restrictions in this Release:
+ Memory allocations made through calls to functions loaded from a DLL using
delayed loading may not be detected.
+ Support for programs that use MFC 7.0, MFC 7.1, or MFC 8.0 is not complete
yet. Some memory leaks from such MFC-based programs may not be detected. A
workaround for this restriction is to forcefully include the MFC DLLs in
memory leak detection, by setting the "ForceIncludeModules" configuration
option to: "mfc70d.dll mfc71d.dll mfc80d.dll" and explicitly adding vld.lib
as an input file on the linker command line (can be added through project
settings by adding it to the list of library modules in the linker options).
This restriction does not apply to programs that use MFC 4.2, which is fully
supported.
1.9a beta (9 March 2006)
------------------------
New Features/Enhancements:
+ All new leak detection engine detects most, if not all, in-process memory
leaks, not just leaks from "new" or "malloc", including COM-based leaks.
+ Packaged as an easier-to-use DLL. There's no longer any need to carefully
decide which modules should be linked with the VLD library. Instead, you
just include the vld.h header file in at least one source file from each
module (DLL or EXE) to be included in memory leak detection.
+ Configuration is done from an INI file instead of using preprocessor macros.
This allows VLD's configuration to be changed without needing to recompile
the program.
+ Many new configuration options have been added. One of the most often
requested option that has been added is the option to save the leak report
to a file instead of, or in addition to, the debugger.
Bugs Fixed:
+ The improved design of the new leak detection engine has resolved all of the
previously known restrictions in version 1.0.
Known Restrictions in this Release:
+ Memory allocations made through calls to functions loaded from a DLL using
delayed loading may not be detected.
+ Support for programs that use MFC 7.0, MFC 7.1, or MFC 8.0 is not complete
yet. Some memory leaks from such MFC-based programs may not be detected. A
workaround for this restriction is to forcefully include the MFC DLLs in
memory leak detection, by setting the "ForceIncludeModules" configuration
option to: "mfc70d.dll mfc71d.dll mfc80d.dll" and explicitly adding vld.lib
as an input file on the linker command line (can be added through project
settings by adding it to the list of library modules in the linker options).
This restriction does not apply to programs that use MFC 4.2, which is fully
supported.
1.0 (5 August 2005)
-------------------
New Features/Enhancements:
+ Memory leak detection can now be selectively disabled and enabled at
runtime, using provided APIs. This provides a straightforward way of
allowing VLD to selectively "ignore" certain allocations. It can also be
used to disable VLD altogether at runtime, improving application performance
without needing to recompile.
+ If there are multiple identical memory leaks (i.e. leaks that originate from
the same call stack and that leak the same size memory block) then VLD can
optionally aggregate all of the repeated leaks, showing only the first such
leaked block in detail in the memory leak report. A tally of the total
number of leaks that match that particular size and call stack accompanies
the information for that leak.
+ When VLD is initialized at program startup, the library type which was
linked-in is displayed. This can help verify that the expected VLD library
(either single-threaded static, multithreaded static, or multithreaded DLL)
is being linked with your program.
+ The Visual Leak Detector name is displayed on most messages output to the
debugger to easily differentiate VLD's output from the output produced by
the built-in memory leak detector.
+ If any of the compile-time configuration options have been changed from
their default values, then the current state of the option is displayed in
the debugger when VLD is initialized.
+ VLD's memory leak self-checking capability (checking for leaks in VLD
itself) can be verified using a new preprocessor macro that allows VLD to
perform a self-test at runtime.
Bugs Fixed:
+ If the MFC libraries are statically linked to the program being debugged,
then MFC will erroneously report memory leaks in the Visual Leak Detector
code and may cause an access violation while attempting to report the false
memory leaks. These bogus leaks are always reported as "client block at
<address>, subtype bf42" and are claimed to be "invalid objects".
+ VLD will leak a fixed-sized block of memory when the program exits if VLD
failed to initialize because the Debug Help library (dbghelp.dll) could not
be loaded.
+ In multithreaded programs, if the program's main thread terminates before
other threads in the same process, then VLD may cause an access violation
while freeing resources used internally by VLD.
0.9i beta (30 April 2005)
-------------------------
New Features/Enhancements:
+ Added support in the source code for x64 architecture. The pre-built
libraries will continue to support 32-bit only. If you need 64-bit support
you'll need to build 64-bit versions of the libraries from source. Note that
x64 is the only 64-bit architecture supported at this time. Itanium (aka
IA-64) is NOT currently supported.
Bugs Fixed:
+ VLD does not report memory leaks that are the result of a failure to free
memory allocated via a call to realloc().
+ In multithreaded programs, if the program's main thread terminates before
other threads in the same process, then VLD may cause an access violation
while checking for memory leaks.
+ If VLD cannot find the source file and line number information for a program
address, the last known file and line number will be repeated in the call
stack section of the memory leak report. The correct behavior should be for
VLD to print "File and line number not available" for that call stack entry.
0.9h beta (22 April 2005)
-------------------------
Bugs Fixed:
+ Access Violations occur at random places within the VLD code when using
VLD version 0.9g.
+ When using VLD version 0.9g, VLD may fail to report some memory leaks.
0.9g beta (22 April 2005)
-------------------------
New Features/Enhancements:
+ Replaced the temporary internal search algorithm with a permanent search
algorithm that is much faster. Programs that dynamically allocate a large
number of memory blocks (tens of thousands or more) will see the most
significant performance boost from this version of VLD versus the previous
version. Overall, this is the fastest version of VLD released to date.
0.9f beta (13 April 2005)
-------------------------
New Features/Enhancements:
+ Changed the internal search algorithm to a temporary simpler, but
more stable algorithm. A permanent algorithm which should be much
more efficient will be in a forthcoming release.
Bugs Fixed:
+ Access Violation at line 319 in vldutil.cpp may occur when running a
program linked with the VLD library.
0.9e beta (12 April 2005)
-------------------------
New Features/Enhancements:
+ VLD no longer uses any STL containers or STL strings. This solves all of the
compatibility problems with Visual Studio .NET when using the pre-built
VLD libraries.
+ The configuration preprocessor macros now work with C programs without the
need to call VLDConfigure from within the program being debugged.
Because VLDConfigure is now obsolete, it has been removed.
+ One new source file (vldutil.cpp) and one new header (vldutil.h) have been
added. They contain utility functions and utility classes that replace
functionality previously performed by STL containers and strings.
+ The VisualLeakDetector global class object is now constructed at C runtime
initialization (i.e. it resides in the "compiler" initialization area).
Because VLD no longer uses any STL components, there is no longer the risk
that VLD will conflict with any STL libraries that also are constructed at
C runtime initialization. The end result is that VLD starts running earlier
and is destroyed later, which leads to more accurate leak detection.
Bugs Fixed:
+ Linking to the VLD 0.9d libraries from the VLD distribution under Visual
Studio .NET results in a number of linker "unresolved external symbol"
errors. Unresolved symbols include "__declspec(dllimport) void __cdecl
std::_Xran(void)" and "__declspec(dllimport) private: void __thiscall
std::basic_string,class std::allocator >::_Eos(unsigned int)", among others.
+ Call stacks do not appear in the memory leak report when linking against
release VLD libraries built from source with Visual Studio .NET.
+ If the preprocessor macro VLD_MAX_DATA_DUMP is defined as 0 (zero), then VLD
will get stuck in an infinite loop, repeatedly printing the same information
while attempting to display the memory leak report in the debugger's output
window.
0.9d beta (30 March 2005)
-------------------------
New Features/Enhancements:
+ This version of VLD brings with it some major changes to the way VLD
interfaces with programs that use it. Instead of requiring that VLD be built
from source and then linked with the application, VLD is now packaged as a
pre-built static library. For those who just want to use VLD and are not
interested in modifying the source, this eliminates the complexities of
building VLD from source. A single header file, vld.h, has been added. To
link with the static library, this header needs to be included in one of the
program's source files. Please see the README.txt file for details on how
these changes affect how to use Visual Leak Detector.
+ The Microsoft Debug Help Library (dbghelp.dll) version 6.3 is now included
with the VLD distribution.
0.9c beta (17 March 2005)
-------------------------
Bugs Fixed:
+ Compile error, "error C2039: 'size' : is not a member of '_CrtMemBlockHeader'"
occurs at line 644 of vld.cpp when building VLD with the VLD_MAX_DATA_DUMP
preprocessor macro defined.
0.9b beta (15 March 2005)
-------------------------
Bugs Fixed:
+ VLD fails to detect memory leaks in class constructors if the objects
constructed are global objects.
+ If a debug executable is built with certain compiler optimizations turned on,
specifically frame pointer omission optimization or automatic inlining, then
theoretically VLD may produce incomplete or inaccurate stack traces or might
fail to produce stack traces altogether.
0.9a beta (12 March 2005)

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
that program using a modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
be combined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
in the event an application does not supply such function or
table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
application-supplied function or table used by this function must
be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
least three years, to give the same user the materials
specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
specified materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
this License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
written in the body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
