414 ## Using valgrind
415
416 To run valgrind on the browser and renderer processes, with our suppression file
417 and flags:
418
419 $ cd $CHROMIUM_ROOT/src
420 $ tools/valgrind/valgrind.sh out/Debug/chrome
421
422 You can use valgrind on chrome and/or on the renderers e.g
423 `valgrind --smc-check=all ../sconsbuild/Debug/chrome`
424 or by passing valgrind as the argument to `--render-cmd-prefix`.
425
426 Beware that there are several valgrind "false positives" e.g. pickle, sqlite and
427 some instances in webkit that are ignorable. On systems with prelink and address
428 space randomization (e.g. Fedora), you may also see valgrind errors in libstdc++
429 on startup and in gnome-breakpad.
430
431 Valgrind doesn't seem to play nice with tcmalloc. To disable tcmalloc set the GN arg:
432
433 use_allocator="none"
434
435 and rebuild.
