From http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/source_code.html: Release 3.0.0 valgrind 3.0.0 (tar.bz2) [2679Kb] - 3 August 2005. md5: e976a343c61d9505162f595a8aeb09c1 3.0.0 is a major overhaul of Valgrind. There have been many changes and improvements. The most significant user visible change is that Valgrind now supports architectures other than x86. 3.0.0 supports both X86 and AMD64 running Linux. PPC32 on Linux is under development but not yet usable. See the NEWS file for details of these and many other changes. Note the last sentence. > As for your comment "to an entire group of busy people" I can only say: > > If you do have the time to answer or participate in such a thread (yes > and I do feel bad for getting this started) then you can't be very busy > yourself can you? This line of reasoning insults just about anyone who's ever answered a question on a mailing list or newsgroup. N |
