Bug ID: 384631
Summary: Sanitise client args as printed with -v
Product: valgrind
Version: 3.14 SVN
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jsew...@acm.org
Reporter: jsew...@acm.org
Target Milestone: ---
When run with -v, Valgrind prints the command and args being run,
eg:
==15286== Command: ls -l
If the arguments contain arbitrary bytes outside "safe ASCII" range
(32 .. 127), it may happen that the terminal it is being run it,
asserts. This happens for me for xfce4-terminal in Fedora 25. Having
the entire terminal (with multiple shells) disappear unexpectedly is
very annoying.
So here's a workaround, which replaces all such bytes with '_'. It
has no effect on "normal" command line args, but stops xfce4-terminal
crashing on me.
