[petsc-dev] PETSCTEST_VALGRIND

[Scott Kruger]

Adding this as a feature would add some ugly code logic for something
that only affects 2 tests out of the thousands that we have.  

Instead, MR !4500 enables one to filter out that test.  

So:

make -f gmakefile test s='snes_tutorials-ex19_' i='\!*logviewmemory' VALGRIND=1

does every ex19 test *except* for the problematic test.


I might be able to figure out a better way of hard-coding runtime
behavior per test, but I think for now this offers a general-purpose
workaround.



If you still don't like that, you could just create a local modification
to `config/gmakegentest.py`:
    if self.petsc_arch.find('valgrind') >= 0:
      self.conf['PETSCTEST_VALGRIND']=1

to 
    self.conf['PETSCTEST_VALGRIND']=1


This means that the `logviewmemory` test would never be run, but that
might be OK for your needs.
