32 <para>
33 <application>Valgrind</application> is an instrumentation framework for
34 building dynamic analysis tools. There are Valgrind tools that can
35 automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, and
36 profile programs in detail. Valgrind can also be used to build new
37 tools.

103 Install <application>Valgrind</application> by running the following
104 commands:
105 </para>
106
107<screen><userinput>sed -i 's|/doc/valgrind||' docs/Makefile.in &amp;&amp;
108

111make</userinput></screen>
112
113 <para>
114 To test the results, issue: <command>make regtest</command>. The tests
115 may hang forever if <xref linkend="gdb"/> is not installed. Some tests
116 are known to hang also, depending on the version of glibc. Problematic
117 tests can be disabled by changing the <userinput>prereq:</userinput> line
118 in the corresponding <filename>.vgtest</filename> file to
119 <userinput>prereq: false</userinput>. For example:
120 </para>
121

123 -i {helgrind,drd}/tests/pth_cond_destroy_busy.vgtest</userinput></screen>

126 <para>
127 The <application>OpenMP</application> tests are skipped if libgomp
128 has been compiled with <option>--enable-linux-futex</option> (the
129 default). If needed, just recompile the libgomp library from
130 the gcc build tree, passing <option>--disable-linux-futex</option>
131 to configure, storing the library to some place and changing the link
132 from <filename>/usr/lib/libgomp.so.1</filename> to point to the new
133 library.
