1 package Test::Valgrind::Tool;
8 Test::Valgrind::Tool - Base class for Test::Valgrind tools.
16 our $VERSION = '1.11';
20 This class is the base for L<Test::Valgrind> tools.
22 They wrap around C<valgrind> tools by parsing its output and sending reports to the parent session whenever an error occurs.
23 They are expected to function both in suppressions generation and in analysis mode.
27 use base qw/Test::Valgrind::Component Test::Valgrind::Carp/;
31 =head2 C<requires_version>
33 The minimum C<valgrind> version needed to run this tool.
38 sub requires_version { '3.1.0' }
40 =head2 C<< new tool => $tool >>
42 Creates a new tool object of type C<$tool> by requiring and redispatching the method call to the module named C<$tool> if it contains C<'::'> or to C<Test::Valgrind::Tool::$tool> otherwise.
43 The class represented by C<$tool> must inherit this class.
49 $class = ref($class) || $class;
53 if ($class eq __PACKAGE__) {
54 my $tool = delete $args{tool} || 'memcheck';
56 $tool = __PACKAGE__ . "::$tool" if $tool !~ /::/;
57 $class->_croak("Couldn't load tool $tool: $@") unless eval "require $tool; 1";
58 return $tool->new(%args);
61 $class->SUPER::new(@_);
66 Creates a new tool object suitable for generating suppressions.
68 Defaults to return C<undef>, which skips suppression generation.
74 =head2 C<parser_class $session>
76 Returns the class from which the parser for this tool output will be instanciated.
78 This method must be implemented when subclassing.
84 =head2 C<report_class $session>
86 Returns the class in which suppression reports generated by this tool will be blessed.
88 This method must be implemented when subclassing.
94 =head2 C<args $session>
96 Returns the list of tool-specific arguments that are to be passed to C<valgrind>.
97 All the suppression arguments are already handled by the session.
99 Defaults to the empty list.
105 =head2 C<suppressions_tag $session>
107 Returns a identifier that will be used to pick up the right suppressions for running the tool, or C<undef> to indicate that no special suppressions are needed.
109 This method must be implemented when subclassing.
113 sub suppressions_tag;
115 =head2 C<start $session>
117 Called when the C<$session> starts.
119 Defaults to set L<Test::Valgrind::Component/started>.
121 =head2 C<filter $session, $report>
123 The C<$session> calls this method after receiving a report from the parser and before letting the command filter it.
124 You can either return a mangled C<$report> (which does not need to be a clone of the original) or C<undef> if you want the action to ignore it completely.
126 Defaults to the identity function.
132 =head2 C<finish $session>
134 Called when the C<$session> finishes.
136 Defaults to clear L<Test::Valgrind::Component/started>.
140 L<Test::Valgrind>, L<Test::Valgrind::Component>, L<Test::Valgrind::Session>.
