Don't bother listing specific supported platforms, as this changes from release to release, and gets out of date quickly.

Valgrind is an instrumentation 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 second
|
|
heap profiler that examines how heap blocks are used, and a SimPoint basic
|
|
block vector generator.
