Bug ID: 424530
Summary: kdev-valgrind uses the wrong syntax
Product: kdevelop
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Plugin: Valgrind integration
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: c.de-clave...@pm.me
Target Milestone: ---
This is my first bug report on this platform. Feel free to let me know how to
improve it.
SUMMARY
https://github.com/KDE/kdev-valgrind has been unmaintained for 8 months
according to the Github page. I tried it on my Meson project, and it failed to
run Valgrind.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a Meson project. I didn't try any other project type, but I suspect the
bug would show up with any project
2. Configure Valgrind settings in Run > Configure Launches menu
3. Run your executable using the Run > Run Valgrind Analysis > Run Memcheck
menu
OBSERVED RESULT
It tries to run the following command :
/usr/bin/valgrind --tool=memcheck --xml=yes --xml-socket=127.0.0.1:46421
--num-callers=12 --max-stackframe=2000000 --error-limit=yes
--leak-resolution=high --show-leak-kinds=definite,possible
--leak-check-heuristics=all --keep-stacktraces=alloc-and-free
--freelist-vol=20000000 --freelist-big-blocks=1000000 --undef-value-errors=yes
--show-mismatched-frees=yes --partial-loads-ok=yes --track-origins=no
--expensive-definedness-checks=no '' -a .
This throws a simple "valgrind: : command not found" error, because I suspect
the Valgrind syntax used by the plugin is outdated.
EXPECTED RESULT
Valgrind runs and its output is displayed in the appropriate panel
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It is interesting to note the plugin is not packaged in ubuntu repositories and
the installation instructions are lacking
