Valgrind (memcheck) is not displaying the leak/error summary. Help?

I typed in >>valgrind ./myprogramname --tools-memcheck --leak-check=yes

But the summary of the memory leaks and errors are not printing out when the program ends. I am running Centos 5.5 and have even upgraded to the latest version of Valgrind to try and get this to work. I have seen it print out a summary of problems before when I had the leak check option turn on. Has anybody ever ran into this issue?

And I have even set --leak-check-full, among other things. It is like Valgrind is not seeing my options that I am setting.

Solution

  • It looks to me like you are placing the arguments for valgrind in a location where they will be interpreted as arguments to your program.

    Try

    valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes ./myprogramname

    and see if that works better.
