Valgrind在Mac OS 10.8上是否有支持？

Question

我正在使用Mac OS 10.8.2，并通过Homebrew安装了valgrind 3.8.1。

但是，当我尝试在我的代码上运行valgrind时，我会收到许多来自我甚至没有在代码中使用的库的错误信息。

valgrind --leak-check=full ./a.out

有人能演示如何在Mac OS 10.8上抑制这些错误吗？（或者只显示我的代码的错误）

Answer 1

valgrind v3.9.0解决了这个问题。虽然v3.9.0的官方发布说明称支持Mac OSX 10.8已经改进，但在Mac OSX 10.9上似乎也可以正常工作。

您可以在Homebrew上获取最新版本：

brew update
brew install valgrind

很抱歉这不是你想听到的，但如果你运行valgrind ./a.out，你应该会看到类似以下的输出：

==18604== WARNING: Support on MacOS 10.8 is experimental and mostly broken.
==18604== WARNING: Expect incorrect results, assertions and crashes.
==18604== WARNING: In particular, Memcheck on 32-bit programs will fail to
==18604== WARNING: detect any errors associated with heap-allocated data.

即使您已经抑制了想要抑制的内容，Valgrind 在调试程序方面可能并没有什么帮助。如果您愿意使用它，Xcode自带一款名为Instruments的内存分析工具。
