Re: [Valgrind-users] Valgrind 1.9.6 compilation with the Intel compiler icc

[Eric P. <eri...@ce...>]

Hello,

Thanks for your fast and precise answers.
You must be right, the gcc compiled valgrind should be sufficient.

FYI:
I have been asked to provide a set of tools (libraries and binaries)
compiled with icc (32bits) and ecc (64bits).
I tried to compile valgrind with gcc (64bits) but got a message saying
it is ix86 specific, so no valgrind on 64bits machine.

Regards.
