Fix:
* crashes on memory allocation failure found with failmalloc
* memory leaks found with valgrind
* compiler warnings in opt mode which would lead to invalid memory reads
* problem using wrong name in decimal module reported by pychecker
Update the valgrind suppressions file with new leaks that are small/one-time
leaks we don't care about (ie, they are too hard to fix).
TBR=barry
TESTED=./python -E -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -uall (both debug and opt modes)
in opt mode:
valgrind -q --leak-check=yes --suppressions=Misc/valgrind-python.supp \
./python -E -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -uall,-bsddb,-compiler \
-x test_logging test_ssl test_multiprocessing
valgrind -q --leak-check=yes --suppressions=Misc/valgrind-python.supp \
./python -E -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py test_multiprocessing
for i in `seq 1 4000` ; do
LD_PRELOAD=~/local/lib/libfailmalloc.so FAILMALLOC_INTERVAL=$i \
./python -c pass
done
At least some of these fixes should probably be backported to 2.5.
