# Test::Valgrind::Parser(3pm)

Base class for Test::Valgrind parsers.

## NAME

Test::Valgrind::Parser - Base class for Test::Valgrind parsers.

## VERSION

Version 1.19

## DESCRIPTION

This class is the base for Test::Valgrind parsers.

## METHODS

### "new"

```
    my $tvp = Test::Valgrind::Parser->new;
```

The parser constructor, called without arguments.

Defaults to "new" in Test::Valgrind::Component.

### "start"

```
    $tvp->start($session);
```

Called when the `$session` starts.

Defaults to set "started" in Test::Valgrind::Component.

### "args"

```
    my @args = $tvp->args($session, $fh);
```

Returns the list of parser-specific arguments that are to be passed to the `"valgrind"` process spawned by the session `$session` and whose output will be captured by the filehandle `$fh`.

Defaults to the empty list.

### "parse"

```
    my $aborted = $tvp->parse($session, $fh);
```

Parses the output of the `"valgrind"` process attached to the session `$session` received through the filehandle `$fh`. Returns true when the output indicates that `"valgrind"` has aborted.

This method must be implemented when subclassing.

### "finish"

```
    $tvp->finish($session);
```

Called when the `$session` finishes.

Defaults to clear "started" in Test::Valgrind::Component.
