Valgrind For Mac Sierra: Benefits and Limitations of Using Valgrind on macOS



How can I get Valgrind working on my mac? Mac specs: mid-2012 11" 2GHz i7 MacBook Air with macOS Sierra 10.12.5. FWIW, brew install valgrind fails to build, as well as these steps from Zed Shaw's "Learn C The Hard Way" ex4:


Valgrind also fails after modifying the file valgrind-3.12.0/coregrind/m_main.c line 4061 from:#if defined(VGO_darwin) && DARWIN_VERS == DARWIN_10_10to:#if defined(VGO_darwin)(per -to-compile-on-Mac-OS-X-10-11-td57237.html)...I was able to complete an installation of Valgrind (prior to changing m_main.c the make error'd out) but unfortunately, now the simple test recommended in the README file for verifying the install is failing:




Valgrind For Mac Sierra



20 October 2016: valgrind-3.12.0 is available. This release supports: X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM32/Linux, ARM64/Linux, PPC32/Linux, PPC64BE/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS32/Linux, MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android, ARM64/Android, MIPS32/Android, X86/Android, X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris, X86/MacOSX 10.10 and AMD64/MacOSX 10.10. There is also preliminary support for X86/MacOSX 10.11/12, and AMD64/MacOSX 10.11/12. For more details see the release notes.


With the June 15, 2017 release of valgrind 3.13.0, I am able to install and make use of valgrind on macOS Sierra (10.12.5). As a base case, I can successfully evaluate a very basic valgrind ls -l. I will be continuing to evaluate this build of valgrind as I complete the exercises in ZS's LCTHW.

To stop the profiling, run the same command with off instead of on. To get only profiling information when you are inside a particular function, you can pass the --toggle-collect=funcNamePrefix option to valgrind. Refer to the Valgrind documentation for further details.


There are mem leaks which heaptrc does not find. The valgrind program has a tool called memcheck, which does a lot more bookkeeping than heaptrc and finds some more bugs. The drawback is that valgrind is snail slow, so do this only if heaptrc could not help you. Here is an example:


Yes, Valgrind can be run on the OS X 10.8 and 10.9. Not perfect but downloads and runs on Mavericks.I suspect Macports does not do it well but Homebrew is tolerant and able to install Valgrind provided there are no other instances of valgrind and other Installers e.g Macports & Fink.

What you were trying to do (and why) Trying to install valgrind to inspect c++ memory usage/leaks. What happened (include command output) The command failed.

Valkyrie is a Qt4-based GUI for the Valgrind 3.6.x and 3.7.x series, that works for the Memcheck and Helgrind tools. It also has an XML merging tool for Memcheck outputs (vk_logmerge). This tarball is known to build and work with valgrind-3.6.0 and valgrind-3.7.0. This version of Valkyrie does not support any version of Valgrind prior to 3.6.0.


Current release: valgrind-3.16.1 . 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.

CLion is running under Windows, so the executables it has produced are for Windows. valgrind is in ubuntu WSL, so it is a linux executable. Calling valgrind on the windows executable does not make sense. Plus, the WSL files are not easily accessible from Windows since there is a high chance of corrupting them if you edit a file using Windows tools.


Prvé tri balíčky vám umožnia spustiť skript autogen.sh, ktorý nakonfiguruje prostredie a pripraví ho pre kompiláciu.svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk obsahuje najnovšiu binárku pre Valgrind.


For maximally effective use of valgrind, R should becompiled with valgrind instrumentation. The configure optionis --with-valgrind-instrumentation=level, wherelevel is 0, 1 or 2. (Level 0 is the default and does not addanything.) The system headers for valgrind can be requestedby option --with-system-valgrind-headers: they will be used ifpresent (on Linux they may be in a separate package such asvalgrind-devel). Note though that there is no guarantee that thecode in R will be compatible with very old76 or future valgrindheaders.

You can try the procedure below on WP76 R13.3: download the yocto source code open ./meta-swi/meta-swi-mdm9x28/recipes-core/images/mdm9x28-image.inc and add the following line: IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " valgrind" make the yocto image there... 2ff7e9595c
