I think Valgrind is heavily dependent on the Linux kernel...

From the Valgrind manual:

"Valgrind is a flexible system for debugging and profiling Linux-x86 executables. The system consists of a core, which provides a synthetic x86 CPU in software, and a series of tools, each of which performs some kind of debugging, profiling, or similar task."

So I think that's probably a dead-end.

Perhaps there is a similar tool out there that somebody else on the list can point you to.

That said, Valgrind is awesome when debugging Linux executables. 8-)

I am trying to debug a heap corruption problem in unix program compiled
with gfortran and Apple's gcc and g++ on MacOS X 10.4.2. I am told by the gnu
gcc developers that valgrind is the best tool for this but I can only find
a ppclinux version. Is there a port available for Darwin for valgrind? If not
is there an equivalent tool for Apple that can be used from the command line?
Thanks in advance for any information.
