My mate Edu Lima has recently added documentation about how to use valgrind to find memory leaks in WebKitGTK+ using MiniBrowser: https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/TrackingMemoryErrors > This work is being tracked under > https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116317. > > This is a work in progress, but as a first attempt leak checking can be > done using the existing run-webkit-tests script as follows: > > $ Tools/Scripts/run-webkit-tests --gtk --leak --wrapper="valgrind" > LayoutTests/accessibility/accessibility-node-memory-management.html It looks nice, once this is ready we should update the wiki accordingly.
