Hi, I have s small C++ test project using autoconf, automake and CppUnit. I like to check for memory errors, starting with memory leaks. I started with "./configure CXXFLAGS=-fsanitize=address", which detects some memory errors (e.g. use-after-delete), but no memory leaks.
After searching the web for a while, I thougt to fall-back to valgrind using "make check TESTS_ENVIRONMENT=valgrind". Althrough "valgrind ./mytestrunner" works (test program aborts because of memory leak), "make check TESTS_ENVIRONMENT=valgrind" does not work, it errnously returns status 0, no memory errors are reported. Maybe valgrind checked the automatically generated automake "test-driver" script for memory leaks? Since I assume checking memory usage errors is a coomon requirement, I think there could be a common solution, but I failed to find it. Could anyone please advice how to check for memory leaks? A pragma solution specific/limited to g++ (4.8) on Linux (e.g. Lubuntu 14.04) without libtool would be sufficient. Regards, Steffen
