This patch allows maintainers to run:
make -C <builddir>/tests check-valgrind
This runs the test suite under the Valgrind memory checker.
It also adds this target:
make -C <builddir>/tests check-valgrind-memcheck-recursive
It runs the memcheck tool on the tests so that programs forked by them
are memchecked too. This is to allow to memcheck the libabigail tools
that are forked by the individual tests.
* autoconf-archive/ax_valgrind_check.m4: Add new file. Copied it
from http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_valgrind_check.html.
* configure.ac: Include the new ax_valgrind_check.m4 file.
Initialize the valgrind checking on tests. Update the configure
status.
* tests/test-valgrind-suppressions.supp: New valgrind suppression
file to silence memcheck leak errors from python.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add test-valgrind-suppressions.supp to source
distribution. Add check-valgrind-memcheck-recursive target.
