Valgrind

RJimé1 · ‎03-24-2020

Hello:

I need to use Valgrind to debug an application. However it seems not to be installed on Devcloud. Morover, it depends on libc6-dbg, so I cannot install it at my home from source either. How can I use this tool on Devcloud?

Thank you.

    conda create -n <env_name> python=3.6

    conda install -c conda-forge valgrind

If you face any issues, please let us know.

Hello, AthiraM.

I have done what you suggested. Unfortunatelly, Valgrind shows the same error message:

valgrind: Fatal error at startup: a function redirection
valgrind: which is mandatory for this platform-tool combination
valgrind: cannot be set up. Details of the redirection are:
valgrind:

Hi,

Are you getting this error during installation?

Thanks.

No, this error occurs when I launch Valgrind.

Hi,

Could you please let us know whether you are trying to do anything related to oneAPI using valgrind.

Thanks

Hi,

Not really. At the moment I just need to debug an OpenCL application.

Thank you.

Hi,

Intel DevCloud is a shared environment which comes with pre-installed validated Intel® oneAPI software and complimentary packages. As a policy we do not install custom (open source or 3rd party licensed) software to the environment and recommend that you explore available and equivalent oneAPI SW tools or components. As your requirement does not involve oneAPI software development, we are forwarding your case to the admin team to check the feasibility of the installation. They will keep you posted with further updates on this.

Thanks

Hi,

We are closing this case. Please feel free to open a new thread if you have any further queries.
