Description Randy MacLeod 2025-03-26 21:42:20 UTC 
There are some pv-1.9.31 (pipe viewer) tests that look for memory leaks.
The tests pass on natively on PopOS with valgrind-3.18.1 but 
fail with 3.24.0 from oe-core. 

Randy should skip some meetings and figure out if there's a problem with valgrind or with pv.

Reproducer:

Setup poky/master (2d66669b8c) 
with meta-oe (868c11831b +  with pv-1.9.31 update):

Add to conf/local.conf:
   IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " pv-ptest"

In the pv_1.9.31.bb file, comment out:
   rm -f ${testsdir}/Memory*
build and boot qemux86-64, cd /usr/lib/pv/ptest
Save yourself some time by modifying run-ptests to just run: 
   tests/Memory*
