a debian user reported that valgrind errors out on this particular test (<http://bugs.debian.org/779947>); the root cause is not anything in nmh but rather fakeroot, which is the standard build and test environment for debian packages. however, that particular test totally ignores the shipped test/valgrind.supp. i'd appreciate it if somebody with git commit rights would add the following one-liner to make the test honor valgrind.supp: ---patch--- --- a/test/inc/test-deb359167 +++ b/test/inc/test-deb359167 @@ -36,4 +36,4 @@ fi chmod 755 ${MH_INST_DIR}${bindir}/inc -valgrind --error-exitcode=1 --quiet inc -silent -file "$TESTMBOX" +valgrind --error-exitcode=1 --quiet --suppressions="$MH_OBJ_DIR/test/valgrind.supp" inc -silent -file "$TESTMBOX" ---patch--- for completeness' sake here is the debian/fakeroot-specific addition to test/valgrind.supp: ---patch--- --- a/test/valgrind.supp +++ b/test/valgrind.supp @@ -15,3 +15,20 @@ fun:*sendmsg* fun:readline } + +{ + Syscall param msgsnd(msgp->mtext) points to uninitialised byte(s) [under fakeroot] + Memcheck:Param + msgsnd(msgp->mtext) + ... + obj:*libfakeroot*.so +} + +{ + Syscall param stat(file_name) points to uninitialised byte(s) [under fakeroot] + Memcheck:Param + stat(file_name) + ... + obj:*libfakeroot*.so +} + ---patch--- regards, az -- Alexander Zangerl + GPG Key 0xB963BD5F (or 0x42BD645D) + http://snafu.priv.at/ [Unix] is not necessarily evil, like OS/2. - Peter Norton
