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.
I looked at porting Valgrind to Mac OS X about a year and a half
ago. Unfortunately, it's very dependent on kernel data structures
and other OS-specific things, enough so that porting it to Mac OS X
would be very difficult. It wouldn't be impossible, but it would
likely require multiple months of effort or more.
