Hello Valgrinders,

I have some questions related to --xml=yes mode:

1) Why is it not possible to turn off leak check?
The --leak-check=no option will not show any effect. Sadly this is not even 
documented as far as I can see, nor do I get an error telling me that mixing 
these options is not possible.

To me it looks as if in xml=yes mode, you always have --leak-check=full 
enabled, just without any kind of summary (the XML format has no elements for 
that). Considering how the =full mode slows down valgrind runs, I wonder why 
this is not possible to turn of?

I have the feeling that there are other options that have different default 
settings and/or no effect in --xml=yes mode, what are those? Where is this 
documented?

2) The valgrind documentation says that one should use the following option:

--child-silent-after-fork=yes

This essentially means debugging applications that fork is not possible in XML 
mode? Why couldn't simply another file be created, or a second connection to 
the socket be created? I mean I don't have much knowledge in this area, but a 
web server runs on $server:80 and multiple clients can connect to that, or? 
Couldn't this be done in valgrind (==client) as well?

3) Similar to 2) I wonder why it's not possible to create suppressions or 
attach a debugger in xml mode. Basically this would also mean:
valgrind asks some server via socket whether to attach debugger or create 
suppression at given position. Is it simply not implemented or was there a 
reason for this?

Thanks, bye
