[Valgrind-users] Bypass procedure size checking in Valgrind

[Wojciech F. <fra...@gm...>]

Hi all,

As you may know, Valgrind checks if there are no procedures bigger than
5bln bytes in debugged/profiled binary. It uses assert placed in
*coregrind/m_debuginfo/storage.c:723* line (at least in version 3.11.0).
That big procedures are unexpected and should not appear. Well... I have a
piece of code where it occur (5004720 bytes procedure) :)

I have commented out this line and recompiled Valgrind. It works fine now,
but
does anyone know if it's possible to prevent Valgrind asserting this by - I
don't know - maybe a command line flag/option? To bypass that
comment-recompile step.

Thanks,
Wojtek
