Hi,
Some hints for using valgrind tools in Scratchbox+Maemo.
First, standard way to use valgrind and gdb. af-sb-init.sh supports
parameters for using these tools with a piece of software we want to
study:
af-sb-init.sh start --valgrind=my_app
af-sb-init.sh start --gdb=my_app
Valgrind will store the results in /tmp/valgrind-my_app.log*. Gdb will
show its prompt on load of my_app. This way you can debug/valgrind the
program you want.
An interesting example would be: "I want to valgrind my status bar
applet". And this is easy:
af-sb-init.sh start --valgrind=maemo_af_desktop
You'll get the results in /tmp/valgrind-maemo_af_desktop.log*
If you want to run other valgrind tools, you would better use these
environment variables:
* VALGRINDCMD: the command you want to run inside valgrind.
* VALGRIND: the valgrind command and parameters.
For example, if you want to run massif of maemo_af_desktop, you would
run:
export VALGRINDCMD=maemo_af_desktop
export VALGRIND="valgrind --tool=massif --num-callers=50
--trace-children=yes --depth=5 --format=html --log-file=/tmp/massif
--alloc-fn=g_malloc --alloc-fn=g_malloc0 --alloc-fn=g_realloc
--alloc-fn=g_slice_alloc --alloc-fn=g_try_malloc
--alloc-fn=g_slice_alloc0"
af-sb-init.sh start
... do your stuff ...
af-sb-init.sh stop
And you'll get your massif reports in /tmp (logs) and $PWD (html and
postscripts).
