Valgrind error

[Pengo]

Hi,

I am using piCore 9.03 mainly for development (C / C++).
As a developer one would need:
- a descent editor (check: enough available, using Vi or Geany right now)
- compilers (check: gcc, g++)
- debugger (check: gdb -tui will do the trick)
- static code analyzer (check: gcc -Wall or cppcheck which I compiled myself seem to do the trick)
- memory leak checker (error: valgrind is available but not the glibc with necessary debug info)

Code: [Select]

valgrind:  Fatal error at startup: a function redirection
valgrind:  which is mandatory for this platform-tool combination
valgrind:  cannot be set up.  Details of the redirection are:
valgrind: 
valgrind:  A must-be-redirected function
valgrind:  whose name matches the pattern:      strcmp
valgrind:  in an object with soname matching:   ld-linux-armhf.so.3
valgrind:  was not found whilst processing
valgrind:  symbols from the object with soname: ld-linux-armhf.so.3
valgrind: 
valgrind:  Possible fixes: (1, short term): install glibc's debuginfo
valgrind:  package on this machine.  (2, longer term): ask the packagers
valgrind:  for your Linux distribution to please in future ship a non-
valgrind:  stripped ld.so (or whatever the dynamic linker .so is called)
valgrind:  that exports the above-named function using the standard
valgrind:  calling conventions for this platform.  The package you need
valgrind:  to install for fix (1) is called
valgrind: 
valgrind:    On Debian, Ubuntu:                 libc6-dbg
valgrind:    On SuSE, openSuSE, Fedora, RHEL:   glibc-debuginfo
valgrind: 
valgrind:  Note that if you are debugging a 32 bit process on a
valgrind:  64 bit system, you will need a corresponding 32 bit debuginfo
valgrind:  package (e.g. libc6-dbg:i386).
valgrind: 
valgrind:  Cannot continue -- exiting now.  Sorry.


So my questions are now:
- do other people have the same issues with valgrind?
- is there a glibc with debug info available and/or a non stripped ld.so?

Kind Regards,
Pengo

I believe you will need to build your own debug version of glibc - this is what I do with x86 and x86_64 and then overwrite the base version of libc, etc.

Hi juanito,

Thanks for your swift reply.

I'll do that, downloaded the sources already.
and then hold my breath while overwriting it because if I fail, I'll have to reset ;-)

..be sure to use

Code: [Select]

$ sudo make install install_root=/tmp/pkg..or similar and then overwrite ld-2.30.so, libc-2.30.so and libthread_db-1.0.so (use piCore equivalents) from there.
