2016-02-10 22:54, Luca Boccassi:
 I created a set of patches for Valgrind that add support for the
> rte_*alloc family of functions. We use it for memcheck (I added support
> for other all the other Valgrind tools like cachegrind as well, but it's
> less tested), and find it extremely useful, since the vanilla version
> cannot intercept and report leaks cause by rte_*alloc functions from
> librte_malloc.

Thank you Luca.
I think it deserves to be visible in the DPDK doc.
What about adding some explanations in
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/prog_guide/profile_app.html
or
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.html#malloc
?
