There's already a preliminary port of valgrind to PPC, and Apple is
already distributing GPLed build/debug tools (and thus has the
licensing issues sorted). This represents (again, IMO) a perfect
opportunity for Apple to give the OS X development world access to a
really first rate tool with a minimum of effort.
I often see developers effectively saying, "Oh, there's an opensource
solution. Apple can do it." Apple seems to have enough on their plate
already. Why don't you get involved?
Because porting valgrind requires intimate knowledge of PPC assembly
and the internals of OS X (specifically the dynamic loader, but other
parts too). If it were something that I felt I could do, I would.
Even if someone outside Apple did produce a good port, it would stand
much less chance of being bundled with XCode, which is where it stands
to benefit most developers.
