--- Comment #22 from Libor Peltan <libor.pel...@nic.cz> --- (In reply to Philippe Waroquiers from comment #21) > Valgrind should stop by itself when it finds an error (when using > --vgdb-error argument) The error mentioned by me is an error in application logic. Valgrind has no way to detect it, no reason to stop in that case and it does not. > If yes, as a bypass for this bug, you might try to have valgrind invoking > gdbserver and then launch gdb/vgdb, rather than having gdb/vgdb > 'interrupting' a (still) running process. Yes, we can use a workaround that we don't invoke vgdb at all in such cases. But in any case, it would be nice to fix what's going wrong in Valgrind. > But in any case, what you are doing should not cause a problem.

I tried to create a tiny small program that does only listens to incomming UDP packets while using poll or epoll_wait syscalls, and frequently attach vgdb to it. Unfortunately, the issue did not reproduce in this simple scenario. The only reproducer we have so far (at least pretty reliable) is the whole Knot DNS and its test-case. If you wish, we can give you instructions how to build it and launch the test-case, but it'll be several steps to do. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
