Hi, I'm programming in a Mandriva 2008.0/2008.1 environment and I'm thinking of installing Valgrind as a memory bounds checker/profiler. I went to rpmfind to find a Mandriva specific version and found one, but the latest version is 3.2.3 for 2008.0 and 3.3.0 for 2008.1. Valgrind's website lists the latest generic version as 3.3.0. I'm wondering if there are any major differences between Mandriva specific versions and the generic versions? Thanks. -- - Goi Sihan goister at gmail.com |

Sometimes Linux distributors backport bugfixes from newer Valgrind versions. The Mandriva maintainers will be able to tell you more about this. Bart. |
