So I have a background build system that ticks away building stuff, running unit tests under valgrind... Now I have just added the facility to run unit tests with gcc mudflap on as well. Question: What is the interaction (if any) between mudflap and valgrind? Is their any benefit in running the mudflap and valgrind simultaneously? Or is it better just to do two separate builds & runs? Or will valgrind detect all flaws that mudflap detects in any case? (My understanding is, (correct me if I'm wrong), mudflap has a finer grained/more precise understanding of array sizes, bounds, and indexing than valgrind.)
