We are pleased to announce a new release of Valgrind, version 3.2.0,
available from http://www.valgrind.org.
Valgrind is an open-source suite of simulation based debugging and
profiling tools. With the tools that come with Valgrind, you can
automatically detect many memory management bugs, avoiding hours of
frustrating bug-hunting, and make your code more stable. You can also
perform detailed time and space profiling to help speed up and slim
down your programs.
Performance, especially of Memcheck, is improved, Addrcheck has been
removed, Callgrind has been added, PPC64/Linux support has been added,
Lackey has been improved, and MPI support has been added. In parallel
with the 3.2.0 release, a new version (1.2.0) of the Valkyrie GUI is
available.
There are many other refinements and bug fixes. See the release notes
at http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/dist.news.html for details.
Happy (and productive) debugging and profiling,
-- The Valgrind Developers
