[Valgrind-users] valgrinds stuck while checking memory leaks

2010-07-13 Thread Nicolas Rannou
Hello,

I'm experimenting some issues using valgrind.

I would like to perform a memory leaks checking in my application.
I do:
_

$ valgrind -v --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes ./bin/gofigure 
log.txt
__

where ./bin/gofigure is my application, STATIC-DEBUG build, on ubuntu
10.04 - 64 bits.

If I launch this command, it will just get stuck and I have to exit
valgrind manually (I let it running for one night to make sure that it
is not a time issue).
If I run the program without valgrind it works properly (it opens and
closes automatically).

I'm using valgrind 3.6.0
_

$ valgrind --version
valgrind-3.6.0.SVN
_

It use to work with a previous version of valgrind and a previous
version of ubuntu... (I'm not sure about which ones)

Did somebody already experienced this issue?
Do you have any suggestion about how to solve/track this issue?

Thanks,

Nicolas

Is your application multithreaded?  Thread scheduling under valgrind is very 
different from running normally.  AFAIK, only one thread runs at a time, which 
can both slow down threaded applications substantially and also increase the 
chances of hitting a deadlock bug in your code.
