I am using valgrind to detect memory leaks. the output from valgrind is generated by command
valgrind -v --leak-check=full ../spython test.py 2>/tmp/log
in fact, my program is a highly simplified python interpreter (homework ToT) as you can infer from the name spython test.py
the thing that bothers me is the output at bottom
==24269== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 3 from 3)
--24269--
--24269-- used_suppression: 3 dl-hack3-cond-1
what does this mean? I've look up, and there's no dl-hack3-cond-1 in valgrind's suppression file default.supp.
I want to eliminate this annoying suppressed error (which means PASS the valgrind test, not by 'suppress the suppressions').
here is the content of /tmp/log:

==24269== TO CONTROL THIS PROCESS USING vgdb (which you probably

==24269==
==24269== TO DEBUG THIS PROCESS USING GDB: start GDB like this

==24269== --pid is optional if only one valgrind process is running
