[Valgrind-users] helgrind suppressing on global variables

[Andy H. <And...@au...>]

I have some code that uses the pre-processor to generate code to log messages:

#define logDebug   if ( Log::minLevel <= Log::LVL_DEBUG )  Log::printLog

Helgrind reports data races ultimately due to the global Log::minLevel. While technically 
this is a potential race condition, Log::minLevel is essentially a constant after startup.

I tried to add suppressions for the mangled Log::printLog method, however because of the 
#define, helgrind reports the race on lines where LogDebug is used, not the Log::printLog 
method.

Is there any way to add a suppression based on the global variable?

Thanks,

	Andy
