["Travis Vitek (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-573?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12562797#action_12562797 ] 

Travis Vitek commented on STDCXX-573:
-------------------------------------

Committed as http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=615419.

If we want to do automated purify/valgrind/cadvise builds, then we should probably have a discussion about how we are going to process the results. I didn't do valgrind on Linux. If we just want the out target rule to run valgrind, then I can easily add it. Otherwise, I don't see any easy way to make valgrind run as part of the normal build/test process because the exec tool would need to run the each program through valgrind, which is something that exec doesn't do yet.

> It would be useful to be able to build and run the examples, utilities and tests using Rational Purify.  This could potentially allow us to detect errors, such as memory leaks, which we might not otherwise detect.
