| Building and not installing it |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| To run Valgrind without having to install it, run coregrind/valgrind (prefix |
| with "sh" because it's not executable) with the --in-place=<dir> option, where |
| <dir> is the root of the source tree (and must be an absolute path). Eg: |
| |
| sh ~/grind/head4/coregrind/valgrind --in-place=/homes/njn25/grind/head4 |
| |
| This allows you to compile and run with "make" instead of "make install", |
| saving you time. |
| |
| I recommend compiling with "make --quiet" to further reduce the amount of |
| output spewed out during compilation, letting you actually see any errors, |
| warnings, etc. |
| |
| |
| Running the regression tests |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| To build and run all the regression tests, run "make [--quiet] regtest". |
| |
| To run a subset of the regression tests, execute: |
| |
| perl tests/vg_regtest <name> |
| |
| where <name> is a directory (all tests within will be run) or a single |
| .vgtest test file, or the name of a program which has a like-named .vgtest |
| file. Eg: |
| |
| perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck |
| perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck/tests/badfree.vgtest |
| perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck/tests/badfree |
