Mac OS X Valgrind

Valgrind on iPhone

With Valgrind now working reasonably well on Darwin, it’s possible to run Valgrind on an iPhone. Well, not directly on an iPhone, because the Darwin port doesn’t work on ARM, but you can run Valgrind on x86 binaries built against the iPhone Simulator SDK.

However, it’s a little tricky, because you can’t run Valgrind from the command line in this environment.  Landon Fuller explains here the small hack that is required to get around this limitation.
