Valgrind 报告太多 malloc

Question

考虑这段代码：

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    char *string = NULL;
    string = malloc(sizeof(char) * 30);
    free(string);
    return 0;
}

我 malloc 一个 char 指针然后释放它。现在考虑 valgrind 输出：

怎么可能有那么多 malloc 和 free？

编辑：这是我在运行和 valgrind --leak-check=yes --gen-suppressions=all ./a.out 时得到的结果，我正在尝试制作一个支持文件。

Answer 1

这些块是由链接到您的可执行文件的系统库分配的（其中一些也被释放）。

Valgrind 有一个默认的 suppression 文件来抑制系统库中的泄漏，这是您可以在输出中进一步看到的内容：

==58317==         suppressed: 34,941 bytes in 424 blocks

如果您想了解更多详细信息，可以使用 -v 选项。
