[Valgrind-developers] suppression files and Makefile.am

[Nicholas N. <nj...@ca...>]

Hi,

First, in Makefile.am we have this:

   SUPP_FILES = \
         glibc-2.1.supp glibc-2.2.supp glibc-2.3.supp \
         xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp

Note that there is no mention of linux22.supp and linux24.supp.  In fact, 
those files don't get included in a "make dist".  However, since they're 
never actually used, that doesn't matter.  Looking at their log messages, 
they haven't ever been touched in a meaningful way.  Why do we have them? 
Can we remove them?

Second, we install all the .supp files (except the linux*.supp ones :) in 
the $PREFIX/lib/valgrind/.  Is this necessary?  Would just default.supp 
suffice?  I guess the question is:  does anybody use the individual .supp 
files (eg. glibc-2.1.supp) at all?

Thanks.

N
