[Valgrind-users] Endianess checking?

[Thomas S. <ste...@gm...>]

Dear valgrind users

I am looking for a way to check the correct use of endianess
conversion in a program. I wonder whether valgrind could help with
that. I now which data is in network byte order, and all internal
variables of the program should be in host byte order. I guess that
something like the tracking of initialised/uninitialised bytes could
help here.

And if so, has this already been done, or would it be difficult to archive?

I know that there are other alternatives (static type checking, smart
pointers etc), but they don't seem to be really comprehensive.

I do already use valgrind for checking my programs, and both the
verification of the memory management and the detection of
uninitialised values is very helpful.

Yours,
Thomas
