Valgrind-macOS-MOJAVE-10.14.5

Installation:

This is just a suppression file generator mainly designed for C programming language but usable for other languages as well. Valgrind for macOS MOJAVE sort of works, install the following version:

brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos/master/valgrind.rb

Suppression File Generation for error suppression:##

After the installation, you will notice some errors in your valgrind tests, this is why I designed the file mentioned before. With this file you will be capable of creating suppression files easily.

First of all: Execute code with valgrind that you are completely sure that doesn't have errors. Something like:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv){
	return 0;
}

To execute it use:

valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes --error-limit=no --gen-suppressions=all --log-file=suppressions.log ./exe

This will generate a log file called "suppressions.log"

Secondly:

Compile "SuppressionFileGenerator.c" file using gcc or any other C compilers and execute it as follows:

./exe suppressions.log suppressions.supp

This will generate your suppressions.supp file that can be used to run Valgrind as follows:

valgrind --leak-check=full --suppressions=./suppresions.supp ./exe

Make the suppressions default:

When you are completely sure about the flawlessness of the suppression file, you can make the suppressions default, being no needed to use "--suppressions=" flag.

To do so, just copy the content of the suppression file and paste it at the end of the "default.supp" file under:

"usr/local/lib/valgrind/default.supp"

And you are ready to go! I upload also my suppression file, still work in progress.
