I understand now see the exemple:
But I fink that option does not make sense to be configurated, this can
always on!!!

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int* g = NULL;

int main() {
    int* x = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int) * 100); // un-reachable

    g = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int) * 100); // un-reachable
    g = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int) * 100); // reachable

    return 0;
}

works for me.  Maybe you need to give --leak-check=full?

I need it off, and in fact I turn even more off, see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201170
I build with that patch and use --show-possible=no to avoid
generating gigabytes of warnings of questionable utility.

So, the short answer is: big apps that are trying to
stamp out all their memory leaks often need to focus
just on the smallest set of highest value memory leak
errors to keep from drowning.

Effectively, for big aps, show-reachable=no (and a show-possible=no)
are helping to focus.
For big apps, something which I have found very valuable is "delta leak
search"
cfr http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206802 providing a patch
to show only new leak (or new memory allocated).
This allows to run the tests, with valgrind requests focussing on leaks
(or memory allocation) in specific parts of the application.

I see there was at least another request for the same functionality
e.g. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81079

I can see where that might be useful.   We approximate
that by suppressing the leaks we don't care about;
having a single client request to say "suppress
all leaks seen up to this point" could be handy
if you don't have the time to keep a suppression
list up to date, e.g. when working on a large app
which doesn't normally use valgrind as part of its daily test.

An other usage pattern for this (which is the one for which we want this
wish :)
is to start a big application, and then run various tests on this
started application (without restarting it each time, as this takes a
lot
of time in particular with valgrind).

Then between each test, we report the leaks (and/or the additional
memory
allocated).
This allows to make a direct link between a functional test (or part of
a test) and a leak (or memory allocated).

We restart our big application for each test, so
we don't need that feature to narrow down
warnings to particular tests.

That said, we're not currently logging the test name with each error
(example output:
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/waterfall/builders/Linux%20Tests%20(valgrind)(2)/builds/160/steps/valgrind%20test:%20ui/logs/stdio
)
but that's on my to-do list.
