It's also so slow as to make interactive debugging impossible, but maybe that could be scripted.a82d80abf348cfa5eb87bbca66cf903bTue, 30 Jun 2009 08:19:54 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/friday-qa-2009-06-05-introduction-to-valgrind.html#commentsAs soon as I launched Keyboard Maestro using this it immediately picked up a bug in Apple's TView from the HIFramework sample code at &lt;<a href="http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/HIFramework/listing6.html&amp;gt">http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/HIFramework/listing6.html&gt;</a>;. fAutoInvalidateFlags is used without ever being initialised. <br /> <br />I have never noticed this in the years I've used this code, and obviously no one else has either, or at least its never been fixed by Apple. The code is Copyright 2002! It has no real affect except probably causing some excess redraws which no one ever noticed, but still, very impressive!b20e195ef093914f401c38008c7724eaWed, 10 Jun 2009 16:02:47 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/friday-qa-2009-06-05-introduction-to-valgrind.html#commentsIt's probably worth pointing out that unfortunately at this point Valgrind won't work with garbage-collected applications.e6ddd6e8b475a5dc2beea0bd35a96f0dSun, 07 Jun 2009 09:32:24 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/friday-qa-2009-06-05-introduction-to-valgrind.html#commentsYou're completely right, thanks, and fixed.d1e255520ca42a78551f70b0c105f549Sun, 07 Jun 2009 06:13:20 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/friday-qa-2009-06-05-introduction-to-valgrind.html#commentsI didn't even realize that Valgrind had a Mac port! Wonderful. <br /> <br />Also, forgive the annoyance, but shouldn't the second hermesctl invocation supply the "load" argument and not "unload" again?28b1a5784c23417c0a3325967208e2d7Sun, 07 Jun 2009 05:56:31 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/friday-qa-2009-06-05-introduction-to-valgrind.html#commentsI also hope they will get up to speed to support Snow Leopard soon, as is should be out soon and most developers will most likely switch os's early.154e5e44340af80dcb150f9000bae0fbSun, 07 Jun 2009 03:44:33 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/friday-qa-2009-06-05-introduction-to-valgrind.html#commentsValgrind-on-Mac doesn't run on PowerPC machines, and there's no plans to do so as it would be lots of work to support machines that are no longer being made.330d471925e7d028abe1ec3a54b16c60Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:43:36 GMT
