Hi,
I have recently managed to get Valgrind running on an ARM Zynq Cortex
A9 based embedded system. I have a simple test program as shown, the
output is shown below,
Does anyone know why this in the case of the output for the memory leak
there is not a full stack trace.
at 0x4837774: malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-arm-linux.so)
I use gdbserver and eclipse based gdb debugging on this system and have
no difficulty getting full stack traces so I would like to understand if
it is possible to locate actual source of memory leaks.
I have read the advice given at
http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/faq.html#faq.unhelpful

compiled with the following cflags
-funwind-tables -mapcs-frame -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-check -O0
#include <stdlib.h>
void f()
{
int * x = malloc(10 * sizeof(int));
x[10] = 0; // problem 1: heap block overrun
} // problem 2: memory leak -- x not freed
int main(void)
{
f();
return 0;
}
