Re: [Valgrind-users] valgrind for Android (Samsung Galaxy S)

[Julian S. <js...@ac...>]

I have had it running on a Nexus S and more recently on a 
Motorola Xoom (the original version, not Xoom 2).  The Xoom
is somewhat more practical as it has more CPU clout and more
memory.

That said however, running any real sized application (anything
that wants to do graphics, I think) requires a bunch of hoop
jumping as detailed in

https://blog.mozilla.com/jseward/2011/09/27/valgrind-on-android-current-
status/

which actually makes it all quite difficult.  A possible approach
is to arrange your app so you can also build it on vanilla linux,
and Valgrind it on there.  Of course then you'd miss out on 
checking the Android specific parts.
