NAME

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

VERSION

Version 1.14

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.

strip_tail

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

Removes all wildcard frames at the end of the suppression. Moreover, '...' is appended 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.
