We would want to encourage people to test with cheap but effective checks when available. I do not see "malloc: using debugging hooks" message anywhere when I run tests, but if you do, I'd rather see us check if we can tell glibc to stop doing so first without disabling the whole test. Your patch feels like the first step to a slipperly slope whose destination would make us say "we get too many messages so let's do nothing in "make test" with this configuration." when taken to the extreme, and obviously we would not want to go there ;-). Elia, you brought the MALLOC_CHECK_ up. Did you hear about this issue elsewhere before, and if you did, do you know how other projects solves it? Besides, doesn't a simple instruction to export TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK to your environment before running "make test" suffice? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
