Hi Gurus, A while back someone has posted a note asking if anyone is interested in porting Valgrind to Solaris/x86. Since my company focuses on porting and migration (S7 Solutions), we had offered to do this, but since we are a small company, offered to do it at a charge. Unfortunately the customer's expecation of the expenses toward the porting effort and our estimation did not match, and so we could not pursue further. But I am personally interested in making this happen and am asking my company to even pitch in formally with this effort (ie share the expense). While they have agreed to share the expense, the way we have estimated the effort involved, my company cannot bare the expense fully. We estimated (maybe wrongly, so please correct me) that it would take 3-4 people working full-time, about a year and half to understand Valgrind and make it available on a new platform. This was ofcourse with the intention of doing it like a corporate project with dedicated testing effort and support. This was estimated with our experience in doing similar porting efforts of similar products in my earlier jobs. So my question is, would anyone else be interested to pitch in and fund this project, so that dedicated resources can be put in to make this port a reality ? Or maybe I should be posting it in the users group to check about this ? Thanks, :-) - The problem with winning the rat race is that, even if u win, u r still a rat! |
