valgrind for Debian ------------------- Debian's valgrind package for the amd64 architecture is built to support i386 binaries as well (that is, valgrind:amd64 can instrument both amd64 and i386 executables). However, to make this work, the libc6-dbg:i386 package must be installed as well. -- Alessandro Ghedini Sun, 05 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0100 Debian's valgrind package comes stripped of any debug symbols, which are provided by the valgrind-dbg package. Note that it's recommended to install such package because without those symbols valgrind may generate less helpful error messages in certain situations, or not work at all. -- Alessandro Ghedini Sun, 09 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0100 Debian's valgrind package ships with a suppression file named "debian.supp" along with upstream's "default.supp", under /usr/lib/valgrind. Note though that by default, valgrind only loads "default.supp". You may load "debian.supp" by passing --suppressions=/usr/lib/valgrind/debian.supp on the command-line (or appending it to ~/.valgrindrc). -- Alessandro Ghedini Sun, 09 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0100
