Wearing my Valgrind developer hat

https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerComparisonOfMemoryTools

  • TILEGX has bee removed from Valgrind
  • FreeBSD support has been added to Valgrind
  • "Stack OOB" memcheck will detect errors, but only when the pointer is way out (like below the bottom of the stack).
  • As far as I know ASAN does not check syscall arguments, memcheck does.

There are also lots of other things that most tools detect

  • str* and mem* overlaps
  • invalid alignment
  • mismatched allocator/deallocator
  • mismatched alignment
  • mismatched sized deallocation
