Effectively, for big aps, show-reachable=no (and a show-possible=no) are helping to focus. For big apps, something which I have found very valuable is "delta leak search" cfr http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206802 providing a patch to show only new leak (or new memory allocated). This allows to run the tests, with valgrind requests focussing on leaks (or memory allocation) in specific parts of the application. I see there was at least another request for the same functionality e.g. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81079 ____ This message and any files transmitted with it are legally privileged and intended for the sole use of the individual(s) or entity to whom they are addressed.
