Well, (as Bart says), the documentation explains quite clearly that duplicate errors are not shown, and that the error summary tells you how often each error occurs. And this isn't the same as suppression of errors. > To a user a report like the above looks wrong by any interpretation of > "suppressed".

I'd be inclined towards that more if we had mail / bug reports from users being confused in this regard, but I can't remember getting any. > IMHO users don't gain a lot from knowing whether or not > valgrind found duplicate errors. Hmm, I disagree. It can be useful to know which errors are occuring a lot and which are very rare. If you have a lot of different errors to deal with then this gives you at least some criterion for deciding which to look at first. J |
