What is it? =========== This tool will help you to generate suppression files for Valgrind's tool Memcheck (http://valgrind.org/info/tools.html#memcheck). One day I found myself in searching memory leaks in big complex project. The main problem was that it has very old Linux kernel and system libraries with brain-dead patches. Memcheck's output was filled with leaks and errors in deep levels, not in our project itself. Since I wasn't able to do anything with this, I created this tool. How? ==== Idea is simple: you write a small chunk of code that reproduce this leaks and errors inside third-party libraries, then run it through Memcheck and get suppression file. Collecting this chunks is the main goal of this project. Usage ===== rake build_debug (or build_release) rake generate ./run-memcheck <program> <args for program> License ======= Public Domain. Ideas, patches and merge requests are welcome. -- Aleksey "AlekSi" Palazhchenko http://gitorious.org/valgrind-suppressions
