tools in Valgrind-3.6.0, is now available.
July 1 2010: Initial support for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
has been folded into the trunk and is usable. Support for 64-bit
executables on 10.5 and 10.6 has also been improved. Note that to
build a 64-bit capable Valgrind, which is probably what you need on
10.6, you must use the configure-time flag "--build=amd64-darwin".
For more details see the
repository page.
July 1 2010: Initial support for the SSE4.1/4.2 instruction
set has been folded into the trunk, for 64-bit processes only at
present. The implementation is incomplete but is believed to cover
all instructions generated by gcc-4.4/4.5 "-O3 -msse4.2". Work on
further coverage is ongoing. For more details see the
repository page.
May 6 2010: Initial support for ARM/Linux has been folded into
the SVN trunk, and is usable on Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 for ARM.
Further development to support more recent Ubuntus and the full
ARMv7 instruction set is in progress. For more details see the
repository page.
