Valgrind x GStreamer #gstreamer

4日もアドベントカレンダーの更新できませんでした...
なぜかというと、インフルエンザ(´・ω・｀)ｶｷﾀﾒﾅｶｯﾀﾉｶﾞﾜﾙｲ

なんとか、25日までには遅れを取り戻したいなあ

今日は Valgrind x GStreamer のハンズオン?的な内容です。

valgrind でリークチェックをするための準備

Debian/Ubuntu 向けの方法を紹介します。

valgrind のインストール

$ sudo apt-get install valgrind

デバッグシンボルのパッケージをインストール

$ sudo apt-get install \
         libglib2.0-0-dbg \
         libgstreamer1.0-0-dbg \
         gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-dbg \
         gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-dbg \
         gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly-dbg

※ この他で必要なパッケージがあれば一緒にインストールしておきましょう。

リークしていないのにリークしていると言われる

何も考えずに、リークしていない gstreamer アプリ noleak を valgrind に通すとこうなります。

$ valgrind ./noleak
==15558== memcheck, a memory error detector
==15558== copyright (c) 2002-2015, and gnu gpl'd, by julian seward et al.
==15558== using valgrind-3.12.0 and libvex; rerun with -h for copyright info
==15558== command: ./noleak

==15558==   total heap usage: 39,354 allocs, 16,094 frees, 5,830,404 bytes allocated
==15558==
==15558== leak summary:

==15558==    indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==15558==      possibly lost: 4,764 bytes in 63 blocks
==15558==    still reachable: 1,746,929 bytes in 22,873 blocks
==15558==                       of which reachable via heuristic:
==15558==                         length64           : 240 bytes in 6 blocks
==15558==                         newarray           : 1,568 bytes in 18 blocks
==15558==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==15558== rerun with --leak-check=full to see details of leaked memory
==15558==
==15558== for counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v
==15558== error summary: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)

definitely lost: 16,384 bytes in 1 blocks と言われ、まるでリークしているかのように言われてしまいます。

そこで、suppression file の登場です。

Suppression file を使う

GStreamer の suppression file は gstreamer/common から手に入れることができます。

valgrind に suppression file を指定し noleak のリークチェックを再度行ってみます。

$ valgrind --suppressions=gstreamer/common/gst.supp ./noleak
==18190== Memcheck, a memory error detector

==18190==                         newarray           : 1,568 bytes in 18 blocks

==18190== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v
==18190== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)

メモリリークが無いことを証明できました

メモリリークさせてみる

noleak の終了処理をおざなりにした leak を作ったので、これを使ってためしてみましょう。ちなみに、ここからは GStreamer に限った話ではなく valgrind の話です。

$ valgrind --suppressions=/home/shotam/src/gst/common/gst.supp ./leak

==18227==    still reachable: 136,342 bytes in 1,263 blocks
==18227==                       of which reachable via heuristic:
==18227==                         length64           : 240 bytes in 6 blocks
==18227==                         newarray           : 1,568 bytes in 18 blocks

==18227==
==18227== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v
==18227== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)

先程同様に、suppression fileを指定しましたがリークしているようです。valgrind は --leak-check=yes をつけることでリーク箇所を指摘してくれます。

$ valgrind --suppressions=/home/shotam/src/gst/common/gst.supp --leak-check=yes ./leak

リーク箇所は 13行目のg_string_new であることがわかりました。noleakの15行目の g_string_free を加えてあげることでこれを修正することができます。

まとめ

GStreamer のメモリリークチェックは valgrind で行える
-dbg のパッケージも忘れずにインストールすべし
リークチェックするときには Suppression file を使うことで余計なリーク報告を除外できる
GStreamer の Suppression file は gstreamer/common にある。
Suppression fileは --suppressions オプションで使える
メモリリークの箇所を調べるには --leak-check=yes をつける
