#include #include #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ char *str = malloc(sizeof(char)*5); str = strcpy(str, "test"); printf("%s\n", str); free(str); return 0; } Lorsque j’utilise Valgrind sur mon Mac (OS X, 10.9.5), le message suivant s’affiche:

printf alloue-t-il de la mémoire par lui-même? Si je retire l’ printf je ne reçois que les éléments suivants:
==77237== HEAP SUMMARY: ==77237== in use at exit: 25,115 bytes in 373 blocks ==77237== total heap usage: 450 allocs, 77 frees, 31,064 bytes allocated ==77237== ==77237== LEAK SUMMARY: ==77237== definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==77237== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==77237== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==77237== still reachable: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==77237== suppressed: 25,115 bytes in 373 blocks ==77237== ==77237== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v ==77237== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 15 from 15)
D’où viennent les 373 blocs?
Tant que l’équipe Valgrind ne donne pas la priorité à OS X, vous pouvez sans risque supposer qu’elle ne donnera pas des résultats corrects sur les systèmes Apple exécutant des versions d’OS X inférieures à 10.7.
Sur mon ordinateur Mavericks (10.9.5), l’avertissement suivant de Valgrind (3.9.0) est toujours affiché.
WARNING: Support on MacOS 10.8/10.9 is experimental and mostly broken. WARNING: Expect incorrect results, assertions and crashes. WARNING: In particular, Memcheck on 32-bit programs will fail to WARNING: detect any errors associated with heap-allocated data.
Pour ce que ça vaut, Valgrind 3.10.0 ne montre aucune fuite sur mon installation de Debian Jessie.
Cela ne vous dit pas qu’il y a une fuite:
==77215== LEAK SUMMARY: ==77215== definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==77215== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==77215== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==77215== still reachable: 4,096 bytes in 1 blocks ==77215== suppressed: 25,115 bytes in 373 blocks
cela vous dit qu’il y a un bloc qui est toujours accessible; La présence ou non d’une fuite dépend de votre définition de «fuite». Cela signifie qu’il existe un pointeur vers le bloc quelque part.
