%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Valgrind Valgrind is an instrumentation framework for building dynamic analysis tools. There are Valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, and profile programs in detail. Valgrind can also be used to build new tools. &lfs91_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &valgrind-md5sum; Download size: &valgrind-size; Estimated disk space required: &valgrind-buildsize; Estimated build time: &valgrind-time; Valgrind Dependencies Optional or (for tests), , (for tests), (with Clang), and (for tests) User Notes: Install Valgrind by running the following commands: sed -i 's|/doc/valgrind||' docs/Makefile.in && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --datadir=/usr/share/doc/valgrind-&valgrind-version; && make To test the results, issue: make regtest. The tests may hang forever if is not installed. Some tests are known to hang also, depending on the version of glibc. Problematic tests can be disabled by changing the prereq: line in the corresponding .vgtest file to prereq: false. For example: sed -e 's@prereq:.*@prereq: false@' \ -i {helgrind,drd}/tests/pth_cond_destroy_busy.vgtest The OpenMP tests are skipped if libgomp has been compiled with --enable-linux-futex (the default). If needed, just recompile the libgomp library from the gcc build tree, passing --disable-linux-futex to configure, storing the library to some place and changing the link from /usr/lib/libgomp.so.1 to point to the new library. Now, as the root user: make install sed -i ... docs/Makefile.in : This sed provides for installing the documentation in a versioned directory. --enable-lto=yes: This option allows building Valgrind with LTO (link time optimization). This produces a smaller/faster Valgrind (up to 10%), but build time increases to about 5.5 SBU.
