Yeah. Valgrind is actually a cpu interpreter. it literally interprets every
instruction and while doing that tracks memory state. it also traps malloc/free
and so on too and tracks what memory has been allocated, freed down to the
byte, if it has been written to or not etc. - doing qll of this is can see
every issue. it may have no DEBUG to tell you more than "code in this library
causers problem X", or with full gdb debug it can use that memory address to
tell you the file, line number, function name and so on too. This is why
valgrind is slow. it's literally interpreting everything a process under
valgrind does.

Asan has the compiler do the above instead. So when the compiler generates the
binary code for an application or library, it ADDS code that runs natively that
does tracking. This means tat simple instructions that just do add/sub/compare
etc. just get generated as normal. instructions that access memory get tracking
code added like valgrind. this means only the code that the compiler generates
will get tracked (e.g. efl and enlightenment), and other code that efl calls
(stuff in libc, libjpeg, opengl libs etc.) will not be. this is a major
difference in design and makes asan massively faster. it's actually usable day
to day on a decently fast machine. it does mean e uses a lot more memory as
asan needs extra memory in the process to do the tracking of every byte and its
history and it does need to execute more instructions whenever reading/writing
to some memory etc. ... but not all the code your cpu runs will have this extra
work because it's only these actions and any libraries called that do not have
asan build will also not do this extra work. thus - asan can't find anything
in a library you did not build with asan support. thus sometimes you still have
to pull out ye-olde valgrind. valgrind is an amazing tool. it's just slow. if
you seem to have issues in e/efl the first port of call is to try asan. it's
fast enough to run day to day and not very intrusive in that you can rebuild
efl+e and then just ctrl+alt+end to restart e and presto - asan is on. as long
as you have pre set-up a proper ASAN_OPTIONS env var ... also i suggest you:

export EINA_FREEQ_TOTAL_MAX=0
export EINA_FREEQ_MEM_MAX=0
export EINA_FREEQ_FILL_MAX=0

as well. this may make e/efl a little more crashy and will also remove a minor
optimization (freeq is a ... free queue - it takes things that need to be freed
and adds them to a queue to free some time later = freeq will collect things to
free up until some limit. it will, when items are added to the queue, fill
their memory with some pattern like 0x555555 or 0x777777 etc. - or well up to
the first N bytes of that memory object, and then when it actually does the
free later will check that that pattern still is there. if it's not, something
wrote to that memory that SHOULD have been left alone as the object was queued
to be freed - it can give you an indication that something is wrong but not
exactly where). as freeq waits until the app is idle (has nothing to do but
wait for input or things to happen) it runs through the queue then freeing
objects so avoiding the work of the free until then. it's an efl self-check
mechanism put in to hunt down bugs and get a little optimzation in return for
the extra work it has to do. by setting the above to zero you basically disable
freeq and force it to free immediately which is what you want for both valgrind
and asan so they detect the problems right. note efl knows when it runs under
valgrind and auto disables freeq on its own. but with asan, it does not.

i hope that helps explain the above (roughly - i glossed over a lot of details
to make it easier to explain in a short amount of time)

i know. :( you now need a separate shell running gdb to attach gdb to the
process then tell it to run. painful. :(

aaah with valgrind you want to probably bypass enlightenment_start - this means
any issue will drop you out of your login session but you will have a chance to
debug it. to avoid enlightenment_start do:

export E_START=1
valgrind --tool=memcheck ... enlightenment


FYI when i valgrind i do:

valgrind --suppressions=$HOME/.zsh/vgd.supp --tool=memcheck --num-callers=64
--show-reachable=no --read-var-info=yes --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high
--undef-value-errors=yes --track-origins=yes --vgdb-error=0  --vgdb=full
--redzone-size=512 --freelist-vol=100000000

:) the suppressions file is a file i keep to tell valgrind to ignore that issue
- e.g. it's a common optimization in libc or freetype or something that it
should just pretend is not an issue. you can drop that option because you won't
maintain that file and that file is highly system specific.
