[Valgrind-developers] Valgrinding an ARM process using an x86 built valgrind

[Niall D. <ndo...@bl...>]

Dear Valgrind Developers,

I was wondering what would be the issues, if any, of valgrinding a foreign
architecture process e.g. building an x86 build of ARM valgrind and then
using that to valgrind an ARM executable on an x86 machine? Obviously it
could load a local set of foreign architecture shared libraries etc. easily
enough. I can see perhaps though that the syscall kernel interface might
vary, and that could be a problem.

Other than that though, what would stand in the way? Surely as it emulates
the instruction set it ought to work right?

Thanks,
Niall
