Question

我编写了一个boost :: thread应用程序，我可能会遇到一些竞争条件。我想调试这个程序。因此我使用了以下valgrind工具：

halgrind
DRD

valgrind --tool=drd

我可以使用以下boost库1.46.0和1.47.0重现此行为。并使用valgrind 3.7.0 SVN和valgrind 3.8.0 SVN。操作系统我尝试了Ubuntu 11.10和Mac OS X 10.7。编译器所在的gcc 4.2.1和gcc 4.6.1。

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>

void run()
{
    //do some stuff here
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    boost::thread thread(run);
    thread.join();
    std::cerr << "main: done" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
;

如何调试boost程序？还有其他工具可能更适合吗？

解决方案

似乎版本3.6.1之后的valgrind被破坏了。如果我使用valgrind 3.6.1，一切正常。

此处有valgrind --tool=drd的错误报告：

来自DRD manual

数据竞争探测器之前发生的一个重要优势是它们不会报告任何误报。 DRD基于先发生算法。

因此，如果实现仅使用POSIX线程而不是像Linux的futex这样的非POSIX内容，则DRD没有任何误报。

因此，如果DRD报告误报，就像你这样的无种族计划，它有一个错误。它不应该有误报。

但是，我无法在我的机器上重现您报告的错误（Archlinux / gcc 4.6.2 / valgrind 3.6.1 / boost 1.47）。

调试boost :: thread应用程序，误报率高
