R CMD check --use-valgrind <packagename> used to run valgrind on the tests in the tests directory of the package. But it seems to have stopped. R-2.9.1 doesn't -- at least on my box -- and neither does R-2.10.0 (devel). I am not sure when this stopped. I think 2.8.x did this. The only old R I have around is 2.6.0 and it certainly does.
R CMD check --help for 2.9.1 says (among other things) --use-valgrind use 'valgrind' when running examples/tests/vignettes so the documentation seems to say that the old behavior should also be the current behavior, but it isn't -- at least on my box. oak$ cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.0 (X86-64) VERSION = 11.0 oak$ valgrind --version valgrind-3.3.0 oak$ gcc --version gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] If this is just a stupid user problem and not a bug, how do I get the old behavior (valgrind is run on tests). BTW valgrind is run on examples under 2.9.0, as cat <packagename>.Rcheck/<packagename>-Ex.Rout shows. -- Charles Geyer Professor, School of Statistics University of Minnesota char...@stat.umn.edu ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
