[Valgrind-users] Using valgrind as part of a daily auto-test script?

[Jeremy F. <ja...@lc...>]

Hi guys,

We're planning on enhancing our daily-autobuild process to include some daily 
automated testing also, and it would be cool if we could have the unit tests 
run under valgrind so that any valgrind-detectable errors show up in the 
daily auto-test results.

In order to implement this, I think we would need to somehow tell valgrind the 
following:

- If any valgrind-errors are detected, immediately exit with an error code
- If, at program-exit time, any memory leaks are detected, exit with an error 
code

Is there any way to tell valgrind to behave like that?  If not, could a flag 
of some sort be added to implement this?  Currently it appears that errors 
messages are printed to stderr;  I suppose our build script could be made to 
parse the stderr output but that would make things more complicated than I 
would like to have them.

Thanks,
