[Valgrind-developers] suppression by specification of source-file line number

[Jeff F. <jef...@gm...>]

Several years ago, Joe Link submitted a patch to allow specification of
line numbers in suppression expressions (
https://sourceforge.net/p/valgrind/mailman/message/14023169/ )

However, this capability does not seem to be available today.  I can't tell
if just never got incorporated (or if it was incorporated but later
eliminated) -- was there something in the underlying architecture that
prevented/eliminated this capability?

I need to ignore a set of benign data races in some complicated legacy code
(that, for a variety of reasons, resists refactoring) without ignoring
other potential issues in the encapsulating functions-- thus, I'm looking
at the feasibility of [re-]adding this capability.

Thanks,
Jeff
