Bug ID: 393023
Summary: callgrind_control risks using the wrong vgdb
Product: valgrind
Version: 3.13 SVN
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: callgrind
Assignee: josef.weidendor...@gmx.de
Reporter: jrei...@bitwagon.com
Target Milestone: ---
The perl script 'callgrind_control' sub-invokes 'vgdb' free in $PATH:
open LIST, "vgdb $vgdbPrefixOption -l|";
open RESULT, "vgdb $vgdbPrefixOption --pid=$pid $vgdbCommand|";
which might invoke a mismatching vgdb (stale version in abandoned directory,
etc.)
It would be safer to look for vgdb first in the installation tree of valgrind
tools, typically the same tree in which the running 'callgrind_control'
resides.
[Low priority, but the problem has happened.]
