| Summary | 0000561: valgrind usage (permanently open) | ||||
| Description | valgrind is a very handy tool to detect programming errors. This issue documents a simple example and steps to make it more useful by suppressing certain messages in common libraries. Ideally this should also be captured by putting ascend/pyascend specific suppression files in svn and using them as part of nightly testing. Example: valgrind --suppressions=/tmp/a4supp --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --gen-suppressions=all -v ./ascend4 and the content of /tmp/a4supp should be something like:{ memtclv Memcheck:Value8 ... obj:/usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so.0 ... } { memtkv Memcheck:Value8 ... obj:/usr/lib/libtk8.5.so.0 ... } { memtclc Memcheck:Cond ... obj:/usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so.0 ... } { memtkc Memcheck:Cond ... obj:/usr/lib/libtk8.5.so.0 ... } { memtcl Memcheck:Leak ... obj:/usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so.0 ... } { memtk Memcheck:Leak ... obj:/usr/lib/libtk8.5.so.0 ... } { fontconfig Memcheck:Leak ... obj:/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.4.4 ... } | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | run valgrind during all C development. | ||||
| Additional Information | see also man page for valgrind and valgrind online documentation. | ||||

Hi Ben You might like to include the above suppressions in our trunk suppressions file, code/trunk/tools/valgrind/suppressions as detailed here: [[Valgrind]] Cheers JP |
