Description Tolga Dalman 2006-04-28 20:11:11 UTC

Valgrind supplies suppression files in /usr/lib/valgrind.
There are at least two issues:
- a new rule for suppressing _dl_relocate_object would be fine for glibc*.supp and default.supp, since these occur frequently
- Python suppressions are not installed in this directory. It would be very good, if those were available too (please see http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release24-maint/Misc/README.valgrind)

I think it's best if you contact valgrind upstream with these requests.
(see http://www.valgrind.org/support/bug_reports.html).

If upstream agrees to include these things, it will be available to all
valgrind users instead of just Gentoo users.
