Does anyone know much about ValGrind? It's a fabulous tool for
finding memory type bugs, particularly the insidious sort where
you're not causing a program crash, but reading or writing from the
wrong memory address. Craig's problem reminded me of it. Valgrind is
a lot like purify, but without the hefty price tag.
Does Apple have anything comparable? I know apple has memory tools,
but Valgrind is fairly extensive. Because it actually emulates the
processor, it's tied to a particular platform. I believe people are
working on a PPC version, though with apple going to intel I don't
know if that will affect it. Presumably, also, one could compile an
x86 binary with gcc on a ppc mac and run it in valgrind... though I'm
not sure if valgrind x86 will compile on a Mac due to hardware
dependencies.
Any thoughts?
