[Valgrind-developers] ERROR SUMMARY

[Florian K. <br...@ac...>]

Hi,

I am looking at a case where valgrind reports:

ERROR SUMMARY: 4 errors from 1 contexts (suppressed: 193 from 8)

but only one error is actually shown. I found that a bit confusing
because I expected 4 errors in the output. Is this by design?
If not then how about this:
