Hi guys,
As mentioned in our meeting today, valgrind can be used to help debug
gcj-compiled code, but it helps if a "suppression file" is pointed to
when activated to help filter out errors that are expected due to some
garbage collection tricks. Tom Tromey wrote an article on using
valgrind and is located here:
http://www.redhat.com/magazine/015jan06/features/valgrind/
In this article, Tom points out this website which has some useful
information:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Debugging%20tips%20for%20libgcj
And this website in turn points top a website that has the "suppression
file" that should be used with valgrind:
http://vektor.ca/eclipse/gcj.supp
If thew suppression file is not used, the output from valgrind when used
on gcj-generated code is several times larger and contains useless
information.
Rick
