Re: kill the process cause system crash

Hi Philippe,

Thanks for your help!

I am running this on a linux switch. The Valgrind I am using is 2.15. There is no error message/output when the crash happens. But I noticed after the system bootup again, the valgrind log file seems do have some info there...

I will check the link below to see if I can trigger memory leak search without killing the process. 

Thanks,
Rachel

    Some more information is needed :
      * which platform ?
      * which version of valgrind ?
      * what is the error message/output when the crash happens ?
    
    Note that you can trigger memory leak search from the shell (or from gdb)
    by using vgdb, without killing your process.
    
    See the below links for more information.
