[Valgrind-users] Valgrind on ARM embedded system

[Ashoka K <ash...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have an ARM based embedded system and running a lrge application which never
returns. I want to use valgrind on this. I cross compiled and built
the valgrind and run
it on the device. Device is ARM OMAP running Linux-2.6.33 cross compiled.

I tested and found that summary of valgrind output is shown only on
graceful exit of
the application. Tested with a small memleak program as described in Valgrind
documentation.

Is there any way to check the the summary of Valgrind found issues while
application is still running, like on returning from any function. Or
is it required to exit
the application so that valgrind summarizes its findings.

The application which i want to run Valgrind on never returns normally.
If graceful exit from process is always a requirement then can we
trust the summary
output of Valgrind if application process is killed with SIGTERM or
any other signal.
