Hi Julien,

Unfortunately, valgrind is mostly unusable on OSX - even if you install it via
the ports mechanism, the developers warn that it doesn't really work very
well...

from http://valgrind.org :
"X86/Darwin and AMD64/Darwin (Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, with limited support for
10.8)."

from http://www.sealiesoftware.com/valgrind/

 This port is UNSUPPORTED and INCOMPLETE and BUGGY. It may not find bugs in
your program, or run your program correctly, or run your program at all. 


So, the situation is not so good there. I tried running it once or twice on
some master builds while looking into a few bugs in 3.4 development, but in its
current state it is hopeless as a tool for a QAer on Mac.

Alex
