New submission from James Henstridge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: When I want to use valgrind to check for leaks in a Python program (or test suite), I generally want pymalloc disabled. When not running valgrind I generally want it enabled.
Attached is a patch that automatically bypasses the pymalloc code when running under valgrind but leaves it enabled overwise. It is controlled by a WITH_VALGRIND #define, but I haven't updated the configure script to allow turning it on. I also haven't done much in the way of profiling to see what the overhead is when not running under valgrind. ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: disable-pymalloc-on-valgrind.patch keywords: patch messages: 64052 nosy: jamesh severity: normal status: open title: Automatically disable pymalloc when running under valgrind type: feature request versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9765/disable-pymalloc-on-valgrind.patch __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2422> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
