Dear Maintainer,
Environment variables like "FOO/BAR" are dropped when executing programs via
valgrind.
This happens only when building the Debian package with dpkg-buildpackage.
It does not happen when using exactly the same Debian source code tree (via
apt source valgrind) but building it with:
./configure --prefix=/tmp/valgrind
make
make install
So I'm not sure what Debian packaging does differently to cause this.
Example program:
// gcc test.c -o test
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("%s\n", getenv("FOO/BAR"));
return 0;
}
I can successfully run it with:
env 'FOO/BAR=1' ./test
However, with valgrind FOO/BAR is NULL and it crashes:
env 'FOO/BAR=1' valgrind ./test
