| 4 | Building and not installing it |
| 5 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 6 | To run Valgrind without having to install it, run coregrind/valgrind (prefix |
| 7 | with "sh" because it's not executable) with the --in-place=<dir> option, where |
| 8 | <dir> is the root of the source tree (and must be an absolute path). Eg: |
| 9 | |
| 10 | sh ~/grind/head4/coregrind/valgrind --in-place=/homes/njn25/grind/head4 |
| 11 | |
| 12 | This allows you to compile and run with "make" instead of "make install", |
| 13 | saving you time. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | I recommend compiling with "make --quiet" to further reduce the amount of |
| 16 | output spewed out during compilation, letting you actually see any errors, |
| 17 | warnings, etc. |

| 20 | Running the regression tests |
| 21 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 22 | To build and run all the regression tests, run "make [--quiet] regtest". |
| 23 | |
| 24 | To run a subset of the regression tests, execute: |
| 25 | |
| 26 | perl tests/vg_regtest <name> |
| 27 | |
| 28 | where <name> is a directory (all tests within will be run) or a single |
| 29 | .vgtest test file, or the name of a program which has a like-named .vgtest |
| 30 | file. Eg: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck |
| 33 | perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck/tests/badfree.vgtest |
| 34 | perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck/tests/badfree |
