Capturing output of valgrind into programming

Question

I want to test a C code under valgrind with different option. And I want to be able to capture all the outputs and report test success/fail depending on the result of those runs. Initially I thought of perl module Test::Valgrind but was not able to use it. Is there any other option to do this?

Answer 1

Nearly all available languages provide means of capturing output of external program runs.

• C: popen, pclose - pipe stream to or from a process
• Perl: backticks (``) operator or open function - executing external commands
• Python: see Pipe subprocess standard output to a variable
