Hi from reading the documentation of Valgrind I reached to the conclusion that it is not suitable for kernel applications (I mean the kernel in its own or evene kernel modules) Do you know about any developments inside Valgrind team for a tool to handle this or even another tool that I can use for memory debugging in kernel ? Thanks in advance for the help, Bye, Elvino |

Depending on interest from users, I'd be willing to sponsor more work in that area. So if you want Valgrind + UML to work well, try out John's patches and start making noise :-) - Dan |
