Description

Humm here's an awkward one - I occasionally get output like:

from the unit tests. Seems to occur only occasionally - which probably means something isn't being allocated that should be. (Check with valgrind?)

Ivan Reid:


    Can I just mention igprof, which I've been using for a week or so now,
tracking memory leaks and CPU hogs in CMS?  It has nowhere near the overhead
of valgrind (a few percent for performance, 3 or 4 x for memory trace) and
provides a much more detailed calling sequence.

    The web-based navigator is quite slick, too, e.g.

I commented out the issue - but see comment on valgrind output issue #449

Updated by Rogers, Chris almost 12 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Closed
  • % Done changed from 0 to 100

Closed by r569 (valgrind no longer gives error messages related to this - there are some funny error messages I don't understand but they look to be related to gunit framework)
