Hi folks,
Is there a way to include memory checking for C extensions in pytest
tests?
Basically what I usually do is to write a small file that calls the
stuff I want to test and then run
valgrind python3 do_stuff.py
but this is (a) not integrated into my systematic tests and (b) always
gives a shitload of errors because apparently no python developer heard
of a memory checker before.
I have the gut feeling that there is no way to do that, but I would be
happy if there was a way.
Cheers,
Daniel
