Re: collecting data from a shared library

Yes I see that. Is there anything special one needs to do to get it to
process the shared library in addition to the main program?

Memcheck must analyze the whole program as otherwise it will not be able to
track the state of the memory (if/and where allocated, freed, initialized,
...).

Depending on the tool, you might (somewhat) restrict what it tracks.
For example, with callgrind, you can start/stop recording the instructions
executed using --toggle-collect=<func>
