Another way to pass parameters to valgrind is to create a ".valgrindrc" file either in the root of your home directory or in current working directory.

In order to pass name of the file with suppressions you'll need to add a line below to it.

--suppressions=<file name>

It is also useful to add "--leak_check=all".
One line per option. valgrind doesn't understand shell extensions, so, "~/.upp/ide/valgrind.supp" won't work. You'll need to put "/home/user/.upp/ide/valgrind.supp". If you are creating a ".valgrindrc" in current working directory, it is enough to put "--suppressions=valgrind.supp" in it.
