[Valgrind-users] Unique log filename

[Skarakis, K. <kon...@un...>]

Hello,

I want to run a big project over a long time under Valgrind's Memcheck. I am using --log-file in conjunction with %p to generate log files per process ID. This means that over time I will start losing log files due to PID reuse. Is there a way to make my logs unique so that they will not be overwritten? Maybe some way to get a timestamp in the filename? I know that the only other available specifier is %q, but I haven't found a way to make this work.

I am running on Suse Linux 64bit.

Thanks,
Costas
