Description Patricia Muscalu 2016-12-02 09:51:39 UTC
valgrind reports the following memory leak:

 ==7627== 16,384 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 4,210 of 4,215
| ==7627==    at 0x4C2AC4F: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:299)
| ==7627==    by 0x8DA5008: g_malloc (in /home/patricia/products/unittest/builds/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.4600.2)
| ==7627==    by 0x8DAEEBB: g_quark_init (in /home/patricia/products/unittest/builds/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.4600.2)

| ==7627==    by 0x4000CD9: ??? (in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.24.so)
| ==7627==


Adding a new suppression solves the problem:

{
   <insert_a_suppression_name_here>
   Memcheck:Leak
   match-leak-kinds: definite
   fun:malloc
   fun:g_malloc
   fun:g_quark_init
   fun:glib_init_ctor
   fun:call_init.part.0
   fun:_dl_init
   obj:*/ld-*.so
}
Comment 1 Patricia Muscalu 2016-12-02 14:57:57 UTC
Please ignore my bug report. We are actually using an old version of gst.supp in our local packages. The suggested suppression does already exist in the newer version of gst.supp.

Sorry and have a nice weekend :)!
