The FreeBSD port of Valgrind has now been merged upstream and a new release of Valgrind is out, 3.18.1. This updates Makefile, distinfo and pkg-descr to reflect that. Also remove pkg-message which has been incorrect and obsolete for a fair time. PR: 259224

Valgrind is a system for debugging and profiling un*x programs. With the tools
|
|
that come with Valgrind, you can automatically detect many memory management
|
|
and threading bugs, avoiding hours of frustrating bug-hunting, making your
|
|
programs more stable. You can also perform detailed profiling, to speed up and
|
|
reduce memory use of your programs.
|
|
|
|
The Valgrind distribution includes 10 tools:
|
|
- memcheck, the primary tool, a memory error detector
|
|
- helgrind and drd, thread error detectors
|
|
- callgrind and cachegrind, execution and cache profiling tools
|
|
- massif, a memory tracker
|
|
- dhat, a memory content profiler
|
|
- lackey, an example of using the framework
|
|
- none, does no instumentation and can check that Valgrind runs correctly
|
|
- exp-bbv, and experimental profiling tool using sampling
|
|
|
|
Valgrind was initially ported to FreeBSD by Doug Rabson.
