# This script can be used on a valgrind output of the tests (from
# tests_in_valgrind.sh) to remove some uninteresting error reports.
# Since we care about the tested application not leaking/crashing, not
# the tests itself, memory leaks that are caused only by the tests
# (eg. unreleased test data), we don't want to have logs full of them.
#
# This script does some heuristics to eliminate some of such error
# reports. Currently, the memory lost reports whose stack contains
# no call from the real application are suppressed.
#
# Of course, the rest still can contain many uninteresting entries.

# Yes, it's perl even when we use python. I wrote it for myself when
# I needed to clean the outputs and after it proved useful to me, I
# thought it might be for others too, so I just included it. It's not
# that we would be switching to perl. If it should grow in future to
# include more heuristics and do something more fancy, we should probably
# rewrite it in python instead.
