Package: valgrind Version: 1:2.4.0-2 Severity: important Hi,
valgrind's --db-attach=yes option ought to behave sensibly when debugging programs with redirected stdin/stdout. valgrind --db-attach=yes foo <input-file will get to the first error and then exit(0)! This is Far From Ideal (TM). It's particularly bad because programs that take input on stdin and output onto stdout are a standard UNIX idiom, so not being able to debug them sensibly using valgrind/gdb is a serious problem. Suggesting authors of code re-write chunks of code just to be able to debug them is not plausible. Valgrind should supply a gdb helper script that replugs fds and /dev/tty to set things up in the obviously sensible manner, and that should be the default debugger command. I don't believe this would be overly difficult to do.
