1 Revision history for Test-Valgrind
3 1.16 2015-11-12 23:30 UTC
4 + Chg : The Test::Valgrind tests will now be skipped when the default
5 and user-supplied suppressions files do not refer to any perl-
6 related symbol. This behaviour can be overridden by passing
7 'allow_no_supp => 1' to Test::Valgrind->import.
8 This fixes the following RT issue.
9 + Fix : [RT #101934] : t/20-bad.t failing on armv7hl
10 While the root cause of this issue is probably not at
11 Test::Valgrind's level, it should nevertheless not run the
12 tests when the suppression files are obviously insufficient.
13 Thanks Paul Howarth for reporting and providing helpful
15 + Fix : The accuracy of the default perl suppression file has been
17 + Fix : The tests will be more reliably skipped when no valgrind or
18 no suppressions are found.
19 + Fix : Segmentation faults during the analysis are now more gracefully
21 + Fix : 'no_def_supp => 1' will no longer cause the extra suppressions
23 + Tst : t/20-bad.t will no longer run the extra tests when no valgrind
24 can be found (this was a regression in version 1.15).
26 1.15 2015-10-30 16:15 UTC
27 + Add : The new 'regen_def_supp' option can be passed to
28 Test::Valgrind->import to forcefully regenerate the default
30 + Fix : Build failures of the dummy XS code with PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS
32 + Fix : Handshake failures in tests with recent perls built with
34 + Tst : Improved diagnostics on failure.
35 + Upd : Freshen Makefile.PL.
37 1.14 2013-09-01 17:10 UTC
38 This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
39 Satisfied users of version 1.13 can skip this update.
40 + Doc : POD headings are now properly linkable.
41 + Tst : Author tests are no longer bundled with this distribution.
42 They are only made available to authors in the git repository.
43 + Tst : The stack traces used in t/20-bad.t have been made more
44 predictable when compiler optimizations are in use.
46 1.13 2011-08-25 15:45 UTC
47 + Fix : The session will now call the finish() method at the right time.
48 + Fix : The README file is now properly UTF-8-encoded.
49 + Tst : Test demangling of Z-encoded symbols.
51 1.12 2009-11-29 16:45 UTC
52 + Doc : The front documentation in Test::Valgrind was improved.
53 + Fix : Don't install Valgrind.so, as it's only used for testing.
54 + Fix : "Non-portable hex number" warnings.
55 + Fix : Old versions of valgrind could leave some Z-encoded symbols in
56 the stack traces. We now make sure they're always decoded.
58 1.11 2009-10-08 20:55 UTC
59 + Doc : Completion and improvements.
60 + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
61 + Upd : Freshen Makefile.PL.
63 1.10 2009-09-22 18:45 UTC
64 + Chg : valgrind is no longer required to be installed before installing
66 + Chg : The parser logic that used to be located inside the tool was
67 moved to a new Test::Valgrind::Parser hierarchy. The tool
68 decides which parser should be used by implementing the
69 "parser_class" method.
70 + Fix : Compatibility with valgrind 3.5.
71 + Fix : The "valgrind" option to Test::Valgrind::Session->new wasn't
73 + Fix : The "Test" action could generate inappropriate error messages.
75 1.02 2009-05-02 12:05 UTC
76 + Add : Commands can now be aggregated.
77 + Add : The commands can now also filter and mangle reports.
78 + Chg : The perl suppressions are now stripped from everything below
80 + Doc : Typos, nits and clarifications.
82 1.01 2009-04-14 21:15 UTC
83 + Add : Allow testing code given by -e. Hurray for source filters!
84 + Fix : Lazily load version.pm in Test::Valgrind::Session so that it's
85 not really needed at configure time.
86 + Fix : Don't unload dynamic extensions by default so that their symbols
87 still appear in the stack traces.
89 1.00 2009-04-12 22:50 UTC
90 Complete rewrite. The options passed to Test::Valgrind->import have
91 changed, so please have a look at the doc.
92 + Add : A brand new reusable API.
93 + Add : Suppressions are now versionized following the perl interpreter
94 and valgrind. They are regenerated as needed and stored in the
96 + Add : memcheck output is parsed by XML::Twig.
97 + Add : The output of the original script is now correctly captured.
98 + Rem : Lots of ugly hacks in the toolchain.
100 0.08 2009-02-08 18:25 UTC
101 + Add : Unload the libraries loaded by DynaLoader at END time, reducing
102 the number of leaks in perl.
103 + Rem : The useless t/21-good-block.t.
104 + Upd : META.yml spec updated to 1.4.
106 0.07 2008-09-30 13:35 UTC
107 + Chg : Now conforms to the Test::Builder framework.
108 + Fix : STDERR is longer eaten.
109 + Fix : Eat STDOUT or print it as diagnostics, but never let him go
110 through naked, as this may fiddle with the tests output.
111 + Fix : 'make test' without prior 'make'.
113 0.06 2008-09-09 22:10 UTC
114 + Fix : Suppressions were installed in the wrong path. Thanks Marvin
115 Humphrey for reporting this.
116 + Fix : Really load XSLoader when generating suppressions. Thanks Marvin
117 Humphrey again for bringing this to my attention.
118 + Fix : The logic for finding the file to run through valgrind was
119 flawed, which lead to generate suppressions against
120 Test/Valgrind.pm only.
122 0.051 2008-09-02 17:20 UTC
123 + Fix : Forgot to upgrade version of the suppression placeholder module.
125 0.05 2008-08-25 22:05 UTC
126 + Chg : Lower the default caller to 12.
127 + Tst : Add a real-life test that gets executed only if you have a C
130 0.04 2008-05-13 16:25 UTC
131 + Chg : Don't smoke this on 5.005 please.
132 + Chg : Better way to find the valgrind executable.
134 0.03 2008-04-21 15:35 UTC
135 + Fix : Include the mock Suppressions.pm rather than an empty file.
137 0.02 2008-04-21 15:25 UTC
138 + Add : Test::Valgrind now depends on Perl::Destruct::Level. This is
139 needed for non-debugging perls because we can't set their
140 level of memory cleanup correctness on exit with the
141 PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL environment variable.
142 + Add : Hardcode valgrind path into the new constant
143 Test::Valgrind::Suppressions::VG_PATH.
144 + Chg : Test::Valgrind::Suppressions::supppath() is now supp_path().
145 + Chg : lib/Test/Valgrind/Suppressions.pm.tpl was renamed to
146 lib/Test/Valgrind/Suppressions.tpl for file portability reasons.
148 0.01 2008-04-19 15:50 UTC
149 First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
