It appears from this page that valgrind relies on the Linux kernel, which makes a port not possible for now, but that Mac OS X support is being planned. -- On Dec 28, 2007, at 6:55 AM, Aleksander Morgado wrote:

Hi all,

Is there any major reason not to have a port of Valgrind for Mac OS X? Is it just because no one tried it, or is there any technical issue related to it? I am quite new in Mac OS X, so I don't really know if there is any good alternative. Any idea?

Thanks in advance and best regards, Aleks _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

Take a look at TN 2124<http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2124.html>for options. Guard Malloc is very useful. Avi On 12/28/07, Aleksander Morgado <aleksander_morgado@mm.st> wrote:

I see. It's even marked as a high priority port. But, anyway, is there any good alternative to it? I've tried MallocDebug, but it only seems prepared for programs with a GUI. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
