Note that this is utterly trivial; just add a Build-Dependency on valgrind, and the build system will take care of the rest. My understanding is that this has zero impact on runtime performance; it just adds a few very short instruction sequences after each DRM allocation, only picked up when running under Valgrind. I tried rebuilding with the b-d in question, and indeed, the torrent of Valgrind errors went away almost entirely. > Please also refer to my other report Bug#918895: libdrm2: > lacks valgrind support. It looks as if libdrm2 is already built with Valgrind support. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: https://www.sesse.net/
