Valgrind – OCI: Suppressions file FTW!

author Posted by: nico on date Mar 23rd, 2009 | filed Filed under: C++, Programming

Update: There’s a new Valgrind suppressions file @ this link.

valgrind-link3 Working [1] on a C++ project with Oracle I found that Valgrind reported lots of warnings related to OCI, for which, regardless of being false positives [2] or not, there’s little I can do about (other than migrating to MySQL, that is). As the error report kept growing I found that Valgrind will refuse to keep track of new errors after a million or so:

More than 1000000 errors detected. I’m not reporting any more. Final error counts may be inaccurate. Go fix your program!

The solution in this case is a suppresions file for Valgrind. After spending a good deal of time unsuccsesfuly trying to get one I had to do it myself and upload it for the next one to run into this problem:

- Link to the file: Valgrind / OCI suppressions.

[2] False positives are quite likely when compiling with -O2. See Valgrind FTW.

    Great work, just what I’m looking for – but where is the file? (the link seems broken)

    Thanks! Since I use x86_64 I had to switch all the ‘Value4′ to ‘Value8′, and I also had to add a few extra suppressions (below), but after that it worked just perfectly. Nice to be able to get 0 errors for all our oracle tests …
