valgrind でメモリリークの誤検出が起きる場合、suppression を指定する

valgrind は、問題がない場合でも誤検出することがママある。 そのような場合、suppressions ファイルを生成すればよい。

たとえば、dlopen() は内部でエラーメッセージ保存用のバッファを calloc で確保するが、このバッファは開放されないが、これはバグではないということになっている。See. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14015

このような場合、以下のようにして、--gen-suppressions=all として、suppressions 設定をダンプさせることができる。

$ make -j 4 && valgrind --gen-suppressions=all --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all ./a.out 
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

この内容を t/myapp.supp などに保存する。そして、このファイルを指定して起動すると、以下のように、不要な警告をだまらせることができる。

$ make -j 4 && valgrind --suppressions=t/myapp.supp --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all ./a.out
