NAME

Test::Valgrind::Suppressions - Generate suppressions for given tool and command.

VERSION

Version 1.19

DESCRIPTION

This module is an helper for generating suppressions.

METHODS

generate

    Test::Valgrind::Suppressions->generate(
     tool    => $tool,
     command => $command,
     target  => $target,
    );

Generates suppressions for the command $command->new_trainer and the tool $tool->new_trainer, and writes them in the file specified by $target. The action used behind the scenes is Test::Valgrind::Action::Suppressions.

Returns the status code.

maybe_generalize

    my $mangled_suppression = Test::Valgrind::Suppressions->maybe_generalize(
     $session,
     $suppression,
    );

Removes all wildcard frames at the end of the suppression. It also replaces sequences of wildcard frames by '...' when valgrind 3.4.0 or higher is used. Returns the mangled suppression.

maybe_z_demangle

    my $demangled_symbol = Test::Valgrind::Suppressions->maybe_z_demangle(
     $symbol,
    );

If $symbol is Z-encoded as described in valgrind's include/pub_tool_redir.h, extract and decode its function name part. Otherwise, $symbol is returned as is.

This routine follows valgrind's coregrind/m_demangle/demangle.c:maybe_Z_demangle.
