How to set the dynamic library search path in Valgrind on Linux?

To set the dynamic library search path for Valgrind, you can use the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. On Linux, the dynamic linker will search the paths specified in LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find the dynamic library.

You can set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in the terminal using the following command:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/library/directory:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This will add the /path/to/library/directory to the dynamic library search path. You can also use absolute or relative paths.

Please note that this configuration only applies to the current session. If you want to permanently save this setting, you can add the command to the .bashrc or .bash_profile file.

Furthermore, the option –trace-children=yes can be used to track the dynamic library search path of child processes. For example:

valgrind --trace-children=yes --leak-check=full ./your_program

This will allow Valgrind to also search dynamic libraries when tracing child processes.
