Public bug reported: pv employs valgrind as part of the test suite which runs at build time. As of valgrind 3.23, 3 tests are failing:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/749245201/buildlog_ubuntu-oracular- amd64.pv_1.8.10-1_BUILDING.txt.gz FAIL: tests/Memory_safety_-_Basic ================================= memory check failed - see file `valgrind.out'. FAIL tests/Memory_safety_-_Basic.test (exit status: 1) FAIL: tests/Memory_safety_-_Remote_control_receiver =================================================== memory check failed - see file `valgrind.out'. FAIL tests/Memory_safety_-_Remote_control_receiver.test (exit status: 1) FAIL: tests/Memory_safety_-_Remote_control_sender ================================================= memory check failed - see file `valgrind.out'. FAIL tests/Memory_safety_-_Remote_control_sender.test (exit status: 1) However these tests aren't failing for memory safety reasons, they are failing for errors on open file descriptors that have been inherited. valgrind --quiet makes this easy to see: ==1907696== FILE DESCRIPTORS: 4 open (2 std) at exit. ==1907696== Open file descriptor 9: /dev/pts/6 ==1907696== <inherited from parent> ==1907696== ==1907696== Open file descriptor 3: /tmp/tmp.KBPoCHdMro ==1907696== <inherited from parent> ==1907696== ==1907696== ==1907696== ERROR SUMMARY: 2 errors from 2 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0) I'm not sure where fd9 came from, fd3 is a logging desciptor used with valgrind's --log-fd feature. Reverting to valgrind 3.22 means the above are no longer errors. Valgrind 3.23 has relevant text in the relase notes: https://valgrind.org/docs/manual/dist.news.html * --track-fds=yes also produces "real" errors now which can be suppressed and work with --error-exitcode. When combined with --xml the xml-output now also includes FdBadClose and FdNotClosed error kinds (see docs/internals/xml-output-protocol5.txt). This raises some questions: * should an open log-fd be considered an error (likely not, IMO) * should arbitrary other inherited fds be considered an error (less certain) ** Affects: pv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: valgrind (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ftbfs ** Also affects: valgrind (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: ftbfs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081210 Title: pv FTBFS with valgrind 3.23 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pv/+bug/2081210/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
