Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Valgrind to 1.17 in Rawhide:

    • The Test::Valgrind tests will now be skipped when the default and user-supplied suppressions files do not refer to any perl-related symbol; this behaviour can be overridden by passing 'allow_no_supp => 1' to Test::Valgrind->import

    • Fix CPAN RT#101934: t/20-bad.t failing on armv7hl; while the root cause of this issue is probably not at Test::Valgrind's level, it should nevertheless not run the tests when the suppression files are obviously insufficient

    • The accuracy of the default perl suppression file has been improved
    • The tests will be more reliably skipped when no valgrind or no suppressions are found

    • Segmentation faults during the analysis are now more gracefully handled
    • 'no_def_supp => 1' will no longer cause the extra suppressions to be ignored

    • t/20-bad.t will no longer run the extra tests when no valgrind can be found (this was a regression in version 1.15)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Test-Valgrind to 1.17 as per the Fedora version
