I was trying to incorporate valgrind to check the memory leakage in our project in Linux, I have called the test executable along with the valgrind. But the valgrind says Unrecognized instruction at address 0x60f0b15. Following are more details about our environment 1. Boost Libraries are used in the project 2. GTest frame work is used for carrying out the testcases 3. I also observed that the error : cannot open /usr/bin/log/valgrind_2017-06-21 16:04:33.log file 4. There is one message for boost library saying : boost::filesystem::create directory: permission denied : "usr/bin/log" Program opens and terminates when run normally with out valgrind, Could you please help me with the considerations to be taken, if any, while we are running the valgrind along with the boost libraries and gtest framework. Please feel free to ask if anymore details are needed. Appreciate your help !
You need to attach the actual output from Valgrind. Without that nobody can help you since we don't have the relevant information.
Also, you are using 3.11, which is quite old. It is strongly recommended to use a recent version. 3.13 has just been released, and it should be easy to compile it and install it locally. Something like: <untar the release tar ball somewhere> cd somewhere ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/Inst make -j4 install and then somewhere/Inst/bin/valgrind ....
Created attachment 106300 [details] Output of valgrind when run with XML on When I run with the --xml=yes I see this problem, but when I am running in default logging mode this problem is not seen,
As far as I can see, your problem is the same as bug 365325, which Julian has marked fixed as a duplicate of another bug. Please first try to upgrade to the last version (3.13) (cfr comment 2), and report if your problem is solved Thanks
Issue seems to be okay but is failing to release the handles from the code. making it hang for certain time, I have turned the valgrind xml option on, XML files are generated but I am unable to open few of them. it gives met the error 'error parsing attribute name'
(In reply to Santosh from comment #5) > Issue seems to be okay but is failing to release the handles from the code. I do not understand what is 'failing to release the handlers from the code:' But as I understand, you are confirming that the unrecognised instruction problem is fixed in 3.13 so I will close the bug. > making it hang for certain time, I have turned the valgrind xml option on, > XML files are generated but I am unable to open few of them. it gives met > the error 'error parsing attribute name' Please open another bug if you have an xml output related problem. 'unable to open few of them' is not very precise. Open with what ? What is the error msg ? Please add all the details needed to understand the bug, including an example of xml file that cannot be opened. Your bug has a lot more chances to be worked on if it contains enough details, and it has even 10 times more chances if it contains a small compilable reproducer :)
