README_DEVELOPERS has details on how to do this (under "Self-hosting"). Unfortunately using Memcheck on another tool won't give you useful results, because we haven't added the necessary client requests to tell Memcheck about all the nasty things Valgrind does with memory. So you'll get lots of false positives. Cachegrind works, however; that's how we got some of the speedups in 3.2.0. Nick |
