#! /usr/bin/awk -f # A script to extract the actual suppression info from the output of (for example) valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes --error-limit=no --gen-suppressions=all ./minimal # The desired bits are between ^{ and ^} (including the braces themselves). # The combined output should either be appended to /usr/lib/valgrind/default.supp, or placed in a .supp of its own # If the latter, either tell valgrind about it each time with --suppressions=, or add that line to ~/.valgrindrc # NB This script uses the |& operator, which I believe is gawk-specific. In case of failure, check that you're using gawk rather than some other awk # The script looks for suppressions. When it finds one it stores it temporarily in an array, # and also feeds it line by line to the external app 'md5sum' which generates a unique checksum for it. # The checksum is used as an index in a different array. If an item with that index already exists the suppression must be a duplicate and is discarded. # Source: # See: BEGIN { suppression=0; md5sum = "md5sum" } # If the line begins with '{', it's the start of a supression; so set the var and initialise things /^{/ { suppression=1; i=0; next } # If the line begins with '}' its the end of a suppression /^}/ { if (suppression) { suppression=0; close(md5sum, "to") # We've finished sending data to md5sum, so close that part of the pipe ProcessInput() # Do the slightly-complicated stuff in functions delete supparray # We don't want subsequent suppressions to append to it! } } # Otherwise, it's a normal line. If we're inside a supression, store it, and pipe it to md5sum. Otherwise it's cruft, so ignore it { if (suppression) { supparray[++i] = $0 print |& md5sum } } function ProcessInput() { # Pipe the result from md5sum, then close it md5sum |& getline result close(md5sum) # gawk can't cope with enormous ints like $result would be, so stringify it first by prefixing a definite string resultstring = "prefix"result if (! (resultstring in chksum_array) ) { chksum_array[resultstring] = 0; # This checksum hasn't been seen before, so add it to the array OutputSuppression() # and output the contents of the suppression } } function OutputSuppression() { # A suppression is surrounded by '{' and '}'.
