inconsistent results

Hi All,

When running valgrind 3.5.0 with the following options:

--19555-- Valgrind options:

--19555-- --suppressions=/u/bata_root/aossman/main/modeltech/linux/../include/vsimk.supp

--19555-- -v

--19555-- --log-file=valgrind.log

It generates a 5K file and 0 Errors. But when running the same executable with xml:

<vargv>

<exe>/u/bata_root/rhino/VALGRIND/bin/valgrind</exe>

<arg>--suppressions=/u/bata_root/aossman/main/modeltech/linux/../include/vsimk.supp</arg>

<arg>--xml-file=valgrind.log</arg>

</vargv>

It generates 19M file and 1 Error reported.

What is going here?

I seem to recall that xml has different (i.e. no) filtering,
so you get to see all the errors, even the ones not
shown for plain text. (Not sure if that's true now,
or if it ever was, but that's what I recall.)

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201170
has a patch that skips "possible" leaks, which might
help.
