Our Workflows with Address Sanitizer and Valgrind

I'd love to check out Backtrace to see if it helps to classify and better understand the myriad of positives (false or otherwise) that are obtained when using Valgrind or AddressSanitizer with Kurento Media Server [1]

We use Glib/Gobject and Gstreamer, so there is a good amount of 3rd-party libraries that introduce quite some noise to final reports (even with the use of suppression files...) Would Backtrace help to categorize and identify false positives, and maintain suppresion lists?

I cannot believe that only today I'm discovering the existence of this tool! When was it released?

Give us a spin! Would absolutely love more feedback, it has had a big impact for us already. It’s free for open-source projects.

The tool for ASAN/etc... is just a few weeks old but we have been doing crash / error reporting and custom debuggers (built-in static analysis) for the last 5 years.

Welcome to also shoot me a mail at [email protected].
