# This is a warning-suppression file for valgrind supplied by libproc
# to be used with the option: --suppressions=<path-for>/libproc.supp.
#
# Memory leak warnings will only be encountered when a multi-threaded
# program has used the 'procps_pids' interface. That is because this
# library employs heap based memory in a thread safe manner. However,
# such memory will not be freed until the address space is reclaimed.
#
# When a sibling thread using this 'procps_pids' API ends, or if some
# other thread in that address space calls 'pthread_cancel()' on such
# a thread, valgrind may warn that some memory was 'definitely lost'.
#
# Any such warnings are dependent on the 'pids_item' enumerators that
# have been specified using 'procps_pids_new' or 'procps_pids_reset'.
#
# A single-threaded application should not experience these warnings.
#
## for most of the 'definitely lost' warnings,
## up to 4 blocks ranging from 1024 to 2048 bytes each
{
HEAP_BASED_TLS_file2str
Memcheck:Leak
...
fun:file2str
}
## for the remaining 'definitely lost' warnings,
## a block for each active lxc container, 16 bytes + sizeof name
{
HEAP_BASED_TLS_lxc
Memcheck:Leak
...
fun:lxc_containers
}
## in case an installed library has been stripped,
## this embraces both of the above warning categories
{
HEAP_BASED_TLS_library
Memcheck:Leak
