Re: [Valgrind-users] ulimit under valgrind

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

I am not sure I followed your instructions correctly, but I think that did it.

> cat foo
#!/bin/sh
ulimit -n 100000

> ulimit -n
1024

> valgrind --log-file=/tmp/log ./foo
./foo: line 2: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

> ulimit -n 100010

> ulimit -n
100010

> valgrind --log-file=/tmp/log ./foo

> echo $?
0


Thanks Dan. And thanks Tom.

What if you use ulimit on the outside, before valgrind runs, and raise the soft limit to 10 higher than your inner script would?
