-Valgrind is a framework for building dynamic analysis tools. There are
-Valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management
-and threading bugs, and profile your programs in detail. You can also
-use Valgrind to build new tools.
-
-The Valgrind distribution currently includes six production-quality
-tools: a memory error detector, two thread error detectors, a cache
-and branch-prediction profiler, a call-graph generating cache and
-branch-prediction profiler, and a heap profiler. It also includes
-three experimental tools: a heap/stack/global array overrun detector,
-a different kind of heap profiler, and a SimPoint basic block vector
-generator. It runs on the following platforms: x86/Linux, AMD64/Linux,
-PPC32/Linux, PPC64/Linux, ARM/Linux, x86/MacOSX and AMD64/MacOSX.
-
-Optional dependency: either mpich or openmpi. If one of these is
-found, valgrind will include the MPI wrapper, which allows using
-valgrind with software that uses the MPI message passing standard.
-Note that only one of mpich or openmpi should be installed, as they
-conflict with each other.
