Running valgrind on QtWebKit
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to run qutebrowser (and thus QtWebKit) with
|
||||
http://valgrind.org/[valgrind], you'll need to pass `--smc-check=all` to it or
|
||||
recompile QtWebKit with the Javascript JIT disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
This is needed so valgrind handles self-modifying code correctly:

This option controls Valgrind's detection of self-modifying code. If no
|
||||
checking is done, if a program executes some code, then overwrites it with new
|
||||
code, and executes the new code, Valgrind will continue to execute the
|
||||
translations it made for the old code. This will likely lead to incorrect
|
||||
behaviour and/or crashes.
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the default option will catch the vast majority of cases. The main
|
||||
case it will not catch is programs such as JIT compilers that dynamically
|
||||
generate code and subsequently overwrite part or all of it. Running with all
|
||||
will slow Valgrind down noticeably.
