I have a process x
that I want to check for leaks with valgrind
. The problem is that x
is run by y
, and y
in turn is run by z
. I can't run x
standalone because y
and z
setup the environment for x
, such as environment variables, command line switches, files needed by x
etc.
valgrind
to run on z
but to follow any forks it finds and report them too? valgrind
to follow any forks but only report on the process named x
? valgrind
to attach to already-running process, the way I can do with gdb?I don't know if this matters, but I'm running under SuSE64 linux and valgrind-2.4.0.
Thanks!
--trace-children=yes
option.
