c - OSX El Capitan 中可能存在内存泄漏 Valgrind

Question

在 OSX Yosemite 上使用 Valgrind 时，我收到一条警告，提示 possibly lost: 2,064 bytes in 1 blocks。有解决办法吗？我使用 brew 安装了 valgrind。

下面是如何重现的例子

~/cat hello.c
int main() {
    return 123;
}

~/uname -a

Valgrind 主要是用于 Linux 的工具，对 OSX 的支持较少。这意味着 Valgrind 将在 OSX 上产生大量误报。如果你想抑制那些可能丢失的泄漏，那么添加 --gen-suppressions=all (或 --gen-suppressions=yes，如果您想一一挑选和选择报告的泄漏)选项到您的 valgrind称呼。这将做的是为每个报告的内存泄漏打印一大块文本，看起来像这样:

{
   <insert_a_suppression_name_here>
   Memcheck:Leak
   match-leak-kinds: indirect
   fun:malloc
   fun:__Balloc_D2A
   fun:__rv_alloc_D2A
   fun:__dtoa
   fun:__vfprintf
   fun:__v2printf
   fun:vfprintf_l
   fun:printf
   fun:main
}

将括号和所有内容复制并粘贴到名为 /Users/username/leak1.supp 的文件中.随意更改 <...>为您的镇压取一个真实的名字。然后当你调用valgrind , 如果你添加 --suppressions=/Users/<username>/leak1.supp选项，该内存泄漏报告将被抑制。为了使这更容易，你可以把东西放在 ~/.valgrindrc 中。文件。这个文件看起来像

--tool=memcheck
--leak-check=full
--show-reachable=yes
--suppressions=/Users/benlindsay/leak1.supp
--suppressions=/Users/benlindsay/leak2.supp

或者如果你可以在 Linux 机器上测试你的代码，你就不必担心这一切 ;)
