Status
------

This change has been discarded.


Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Repository: testsuite


Description
-------

This patch adds support for running Asterisk under Valgrind (say: Val-Grinned) 
to check for all sorts of nasty runtime bugs.  This started off with a post to 
asterisk-dev list by nitesh.ban...@gmail.com, and he wrote and contributed the 
initial version.  So if you find this useful, be sure to thank him.  Then I 
made extensive changes and additions, so if the code stinks, blame me.

The following has been done:

- Check runtests.py arguments for --valgrind and --valgrind-gensupp flags, pass 
via environ to TestCase.py
- Note previously existing instances of ast# logs to insure we only process new 
log/xml files
- Increase reactor timeout by x5 when valgrind enabled
- Patch to reactor_stop() to insure it does even when exceptions occur in 
deferred stack
- Add valgrind with correct arguments into executable path
- After run, check valgrind.xml for errors, parse and condense them into 
something more managable
- If -gensup mode enabled, write suppressions to logs/(test)/ast#/valgrind.supp 
that can be added (manually)
- A default valgrind.supp "suppressions" file is in configs/ to prevent 
complaints about known unfixables

Notes:

- valgrind can be triggered by argument to runtests.py, export VALGRIND=true, 
or in test-config.yaml
- configs/valgrind.supp will be used if found, but 
tests/(test)/configs/valgrind.supp will take precedence
- valgrind-gensupp mode will create example suppressions file, during which no 
suppressions occur

Testing
-------

Tested on 64bit and 32bit CentOS, including low cpu power conditions.  Some 
sporadic timing issues affecting AMI/twisted operation have been seen and will 
be corrected.


Thanks,

Scott Griepentrog
