Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment: Valgrind can be installed by:
cd /usr/ports/devel/valgrind && make install Then you can do (curses_test.py is your short test program): 1) valgrind --db-attach=yes --suppressions=Misc/valgrind-python.supp ./python curses_test.py 2) valgrind --suppressions=Misc/valgrind-python.supp ./python curses_test.py Valgrind finds invalid writes. The problem with 1) is that the terminal is in an unusable state, so controlling gdb isn't possible. The best thing is probably to use 2) and wade through the unformatted output starting here: ==12043== Invalid write of size 8 ==12043== at 0x27A71B7: getwin (in/li /libncursesw.so.8) ==12043== by 0x2A3EAAB: PyCurses_GetWin (_cursesmodule.c:1902) ==12043== by 0x4573FB: PyEval_EvalFrameEx (ceval.c:3833) ==12043== by 0x457DF9: PyEval_EvalCodeEx (ceval.c:3282) (I don't have time to do that right now, I might do it later.) ---------- nosy: +skrah _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7384> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
