[Valgrind-users] Valgrind & Matlab

[Sami R. <sam...@un...>]

Hi,

I have a C++ program which requires the Matlab (www.mathworks.com)
libraries to work. This is the most usual c++ program, the only thing is
that it requires matlab libraries in order to read .mat files.

When I use valgrind on a (ripped off) version of my program which was
not linked with the matlab lib, it works. When linked with the matlab
libs it does not and the following error message appears when I run
valgrind on my program:

==6422== Memcheck, a.k.a. Valgrind, a memory error detector for
x86-linux.
==6422== Copyright (C) 2002, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward.
==6422== Using valgrind-1.9.6, a program instrumentation system for
x86-linux.

==6422==
Table 1. block_array is currupt
mwmem.c:1010: Assert : Forced Assertion "Unaligned pointer found in
cache"
Aborted

I tried to look in the source code of valgrind for this mwmem.c file,
but couldn't find it. I'm then assuming that this files comes from the
matlab libraries (difficult to be sure as nm does not work on the matlab
.so libs)

So, is there any chance to use valgrind with programs linked with matlab
libraries or not ?

Sami.
