-If you're having certain types of crashes, such as those associated with
-memory corruption, a bug marshal may ask you to run Asterisk under valgrind.
-You should follow these steps, to give the bug marshal the maximum amount
-of information about the crash.
-
-1. Run 'make menuselect' and in the Compiler Options, enable MALLOC_DEBUG
- and DONT_OPTIMIZE. A bug marshal may also ask you to enable additional
- compiler flags, such as DEBUG_THREADS, depending upon the nature of the
- issue.
-
-2. Rebuild and install Asterisk.
-
-3. Run Asterisk as follows:
- valgrind --suppressions=/usr/src/asterisk/contrib/valgrind.supp --log-fd=9 asterisk -vvvvcg 9>valgrind.txt
-
- Where /usr/src/asterisk/ is location of asterisk source code.
-
-4. Reproduce the issue. Following the manifestation of the issue (or when
- the process crashes), upload the valgrind.txt to the issue tracker.
-
-Please note that even if valgrind prevents Asterisk from crashing, the
-information logged may STILL be of use to developers, so please upload the
-resulting log file whether Asterisk crashes or not.
