Thanks for the reminder re x86, I forgot that. Valgrind does check some things that the GCC bounds-checking does not but its main advantage is that it is easier for casual users because it will work on any existing executable. Personally I use valgrind for testing, and GCC bounds-checking for security (compiling daemons, etc). I don't know of any SPARC equivaluent to valgrind though. -- Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd, Publishing Free Software Manuals --- http://www.network-theory.co.uk/ _______________________________________________ Help-gsl mailing list Help-gsl@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gsl
