Re: [Inkscape-devel] What are your development tools?

Quoting Robert Crosbie <swingincelt@...400...>:

Just a side note that inkscape crashes valgrind right now. I believe is is due to the garbage collection libraries. I've tried multiple inkscape and valgrind versions. YMMV.

Yes, it's a new issue with libgc 6.4. Earlier versions of libgc don't have that issue, but they had a bug that Inkscape triggered under normal usage.

If you want to valgrind inkscape, you can set the _INKSCAPE_GC environment variable to "disable". This will turn off garbage collection (at the expense of leaking any memory that would normally have been garbage collected).
