Hi, I tried to use massif (memory profile) tool on firefox browser. Valgrind can run through the test run but there is no summary output created (the ps profile file). Does anybody know about what was probably gone wrong? The command I used was /opt/valgrind/bin/valgrind --tool=massif firefox A following question. When I ran valgrind on application "xterm", I got error message saying "valgrind: /usr/bin/xterm: Permission denied". I got the error message even I ran it as root. Does anybody know why? Thanks Haifeng |

The command I used was > /opt/valgrind/bin/valgrind --tool=massif firefox Probably because firefox is a shell script launching the real binary? At least this is the case on my system: edwin@edwin-t-new:~$ which firefox /usr/bin/firefox edwin@edwin-t-new:~$ file /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox: symbolic link to `../lib/firefox/firefox' edwin@edwin-t-new:~$ file /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/lib/firefox/firefox: Bourne-Again shell script text executable Try using: firefox --debugger "valgrind --tool=massif" Best regards, Edwin |
