Parent article: Valgrind memory debugger 1.0.0

I have used the pre-1.0.0 versions of Valgrind, and found them
quite useful and impressively stable for beta software. Seward is clearly
one of the rare programmers who puts a very high priority on quality, and Valgrind
is a tool that helps others aim for the same. I have tried many other
memory testers, both commercial and noncommercial, but Valgrind has
some unique capabilities that none of the competition have.
If you program in C or C++ on Linux/x86, do yourself and especially
your users a favour, and start using Valgrind today!
