New submission from Xinmeng Xia <xi...@smail.nju.edu.cn>:
At line 12-20, cpython/Misc/README.valgrind, the descriptions are out of date. File "Objects/obmalloc.c" does not contain Py_USING_MEMORY_DEBUGGER any more since Python 3.6. The descriptions should be modified for Python 3.6-3.10 Attached line 12-20, cpython/Misc/README.valgrind: ================================================= If you don't want to read about the details of using Valgrind, there are still two things you must do to suppress the warnings. First, you must use a suppressions file. One is supplied in Misc/valgrind-python.supp. Second, you must do one of the following: * Uncomment Py_USING_MEMORY_DEBUGGER in Objects/obmalloc.c, then rebuild Python * Uncomment the lines in Misc/valgrind-python.supp that suppress the warnings for PyObject_Free and PyObject_Realloc ================================================= ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 389052 nosy: docs@python, xxm priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Outdated descriptions for configuring valgrind. type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43549> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
