33 # Code to inspect for memory leaks/errors.
37 This module lets you run some code through the B<valgrind> memory debugger, to test it for memory errors and leaks. Just add C<use Test::Valgrind> at the beginning of the code you want to test. Behind the hood, C<Test::Valgrind::import> forks so that the child can basically C<exec 'valgrind', $^X, $0> (except that of course C<$0> isn't right there). The parent then parses the report output by valgrind and pass or fail tests accordingly.
39 You can also use it from the command-line to test a given script :
41 perl -MTest::Valgrind leaky.pl
43 Due to the nature of perl's memory allocator, this module can't track leaks of Perl objects. This includes non-mortalized scalars and memory cycles. However, it can track leaks of chunks of memory allocated in XS extensions with C<Newx> and friends or C<malloc>. As such, it's complementary to the other very good leak detectors listed in the L</SEE ALSO> section.
47 You can pass parameters to C<import> as a list of key / value pairs, where valid keys are :
55 Also use suppressions from C<$file> besides perl's.
59 C<< no_supp => $bool >>
61 If true, do not use any suppressions.
65 C<< callers => $number >>
67 Specify the maximum stack depth studied when valgrind encounters an error. Raising this number improves granularity. Default is 12.
71 C<< extra => [ @args ] >>
73 Add C<@args> to valgrind parameters.
79 If true, print the raw output of valgrind as diagnostics (may be quite verbose).
83 C<< no_test => $bool >>
85 If true, do not actually output the plan and the tests results.
89 C<< cb => sub { my ($val, $name) = @_; ...; return $passed } >>
91 Specifies a subroutine to execute for each test instead of C<Test::More::is>. It receives the number of bytes leaked in C<$_[0]> and the test name in C<$_[1]>, and is expected to return true if the test passed and false otherwise. Defaults to

233 You can't use this module to test code given by the C<-e> command-line switch.
235 Results will most likely be better if your perl is built with debugging enabled. Using the latest valgrind available will also help.
237 This module is not really secure. It's definitely not taint safe. That shouldn't be a problem for test files.
239 If your tests output to STDERR, everything will be eaten in the process. In particular, running this module against test files will obliterate their original test results.
