Revision history for Test-Valgrind
1.18 2015-11-16 15:00 UTC
+ Chg : A new Test::Valgrind::Version class has been added to represent
valgrind version numbers, instead of lazily relying on
version.pm.
+ Fix : The detection of the valgrind executable has been slightly
improved to cover some edge cases.
+ Tst : Test failures on Windows, or with old versions of Test::More or
File::Temp, have been addressed.
Thanks Paul Howarth for reporting.
+ Tst : A few extraneous warnings displayed by some tests when they
were run with old versions of Test::Harnes were silenced.
1.17 2015-11-13 13:50 UTC
+ Fix : [RT #108873] : Tests fail due to "Text file busy"
Thanks Paul Howarth for reporting.
1.16 2015-11-12 23:30 UTC
+ Chg : The Test::Valgrind tests will now be skipped when the default
and user-supplied suppressions files do not refer to any perl-
related symbol. This behaviour can be overridden by passing
'allow_no_supp => 1' to Test::Valgrind->import.
This fixes the following RT issue.
+ Fix : [RT #101934] : t/20-bad.t failing on armv7hl
While the root cause of this issue is probably not at
Test::Valgrind's level, it should nevertheless not run the
tests when the suppression files are obviously insufficient.
Thanks Paul Howarth for reporting and providing helpful
feedback.
+ Fix : The accuracy of the default perl suppression file has been
improved.
+ Fix : The tests will be more reliably skipped when no valgrind or
no suppressions are found.
+ Fix : Segmentation faults during the analysis are now more gracefully
handled.
+ Fix : 'no_def_supp => 1' will no longer cause the extra suppressions
to be ignored.
+ Tst : t/20-bad.t will no longer run the extra tests when no valgrind
can be found (this was a regression in version 1.15).
1.15 2015-10-30 16:15 UTC
+ Add : The new 'regen_def_supp' option can be passed to
Test::Valgrind->import to forcefully regenerate the default
suppression file.
+ Fix : Build failures of the dummy XS code with PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS
perls.
+ Fix : Handshake failures in tests with recent perls built with
PERL_POISON.
+ Tst : Improved diagnostics on failure.
+ Upd : Freshen Makefile.PL.
1.14 2013-09-01 17:10 UTC
This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
Satisfied users of version 1.13 can skip this update.
+ Doc : POD headings are now properly linkable.
+ Tst : Author tests are no longer bundled with this distribution.
They are only made available to authors in the git repository.
+ Tst : The stack traces used in t/20-bad.t have been made more
predictable when compiler optimizations are in use.
1.13 2011-08-25 15:45 UTC
+ Fix : The session will now call the finish() method at the right time.
+ Fix : The README file is now properly UTF-8-encoded.
+ Tst : Test demangling of Z-encoded symbols.
1.12 2009-11-29 16:45 UTC
+ Doc : The front documentation in Test::Valgrind was improved.
+ Fix : Don't install Valgrind.so, as it's only used for testing.
+ Fix : "Non-portable hex number" warnings.
+ Fix : Old versions of valgrind could leave some Z-encoded symbols in
the stack traces. We now make sure they're always decoded.
1.11 2009-10-08 20:55 UTC
+ Doc : Completion and improvements.
+ Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
+ Upd : Freshen Makefile.PL.
1.10 2009-09-22 18:45 UTC
+ Chg : valgrind is no longer required to be installed before installing
this module.
+ Chg : The parser logic that used to be located inside the tool was
moved to a new Test::Valgrind::Parser hierarchy. The tool
decides which parser should be used by implementing the
"parser_class" method.
+ Fix : Compatibility with valgrind 3.5.
+ Fix : The "valgrind" option to Test::Valgrind::Session->new wasn't
doing anything.
+ Fix : The "Test" action could generate inappropriate error messages.
1.02 2009-05-02 12:05 UTC
+ Add : Commands can now be aggregated.
+ Add : The commands can now also filter and mangle reports.
+ Chg : The perl suppressions are now stripped from everything below
Perl_runops_*.
+ Doc : Typos, nits and clarifications.
1.01 2009-04-14 21:15 UTC
+ Add : Allow testing code given by -e. Hurray for source filters!
+ Fix : Lazily load version.pm in Test::Valgrind::Session so that it's
not really needed at configure time.
+ Fix : Don't unload dynamic extensions by default so that their symbols
still appear in the stack traces.
1.00 2009-04-12 22:50 UTC
Complete rewrite. The options passed to Test::Valgrind->import have
changed, so please have a look at the doc.
+ Add : A brand new reusable API.
+ Add : Suppressions are now versionized following the perl interpreter
and valgrind. They are regenerated as needed and stored in the
user home directory.
+ Add : memcheck output is parsed by XML::Twig.
+ Add : The output of the original script is now correctly captured.
+ Rem : Lots of ugly hacks in the toolchain.
0.08 2009-02-08 18:25 UTC
+ Add : Unload the libraries loaded by DynaLoader at END time, reducing
the number of leaks in perl.
+ Rem : The useless t/21-good-block.t.
+ Upd : META.yml spec updated to 1.4.
0.07 2008-09-30 13:35 UTC
+ Chg : Now conforms to the Test::Builder framework.
+ Fix : STDERR is longer eaten.
+ Fix : Eat STDOUT or print it as diagnostics, but never let him go
through naked, as this may fiddle with the tests output.
+ Fix : 'make test' without prior 'make'.
0.06 2008-09-09 22:10 UTC
+ Fix : Suppressions were installed in the wrong path. Thanks Marvin
Humphrey for reporting this.
+ Fix : Really load XSLoader when generating suppressions. Thanks Marvin
Humphrey again for bringing this to my attention.
+ Fix : The logic for finding the file to run through valgrind was
flawed, which lead to generate suppressions against
Test/Valgrind.pm only.
0.051 2008-09-02 17:20 UTC
+ Fix : Forgot to upgrade version of the suppression placeholder module.
0.05 2008-08-25 22:05 UTC
+ Chg : Lower the default caller to 12.
+ Tst : Add a real-life test that gets executed only if you have a C
compiler.
0.04 2008-05-13 16:25 UTC
+ Chg : Don't smoke this on 5.005 please.
+ Chg : Better way to find the valgrind executable.
0.03 2008-04-21 15:35 UTC
+ Fix : Include the mock Suppressions.pm rather than an empty file.
0.02 2008-04-21 15:25 UTC
+ Add : Test::Valgrind now depends on Perl::Destruct::Level. This is
needed for non-debugging perls because we can't set their
level of memory cleanup correctness on exit with the
PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL environment variable.
+ Add : Hardcode valgrind path into the new constant
Test::Valgrind::Suppressions::VG_PATH.
+ Chg : Test::Valgrind::Suppressions::supppath() is now supp_path().
+ Chg : lib/Test/Valgrind/Suppressions.pm.tpl was renamed to
lib/Test/Valgrind/Suppressions.tpl for file portability reasons.
0.01 2008-04-19 15:50 UTC
First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
