# Test::Valgrind::Tool::memcheck(3pm)

Run an analysis through the memcheck tool.

## NAME

Test::Valgrind::Tool::memcheck - Run an analysis through the memcheck tool.

## VERSION

Version 1.19

## DESCRIPTION

This class contains the information required by the session for running the `"memcheck"` tool.

## METHODS

This class inherits Test::Valgrind::Tool.

### "requires\_version"

```
    my $required_version = $tvt->requires_version;
```

This tool requires `"valgrind"` `3.1.0`.

### "new"

```
    my $tvtm = Test::Valgrind::Tool::memcheck->new(
     callers => $callers,
     %extra_args,
    );
```

Your usual constructor.

`$callers` specifies the number of stack frames to inspect for errors : the bigger you set it, the more granular the analysis is.

Other arguments are passed straight to `"Test::Valgrind::Tool->new"`.

### "callers"

```
    my $callers = $tvtm->callers;
```

Read-only accessor for the `"callers"` option.

### "parser\_class"

```
    my $parser_class = $tvtm->parser_class($session);
```

This tool uses a Test::Valgrind::Parser::XML::Twig parser in analysis mode, and a Test::Valgrind::Parser::Suppressions::Text parser in suppressions mode.

### "report\_class"

```
    my $report_class = $tvtm->report_class($session);
```

This tool emits `"Test::Valgrind::Tool::memcheck::Report"` object reports in analysis mode, and `"Test::Valgrind::Report::Suppressions"` object reports in suppressions mode.
