For work I've been having a look at -fsanitize in gcc. It's not as
powerful as valgrind, but it should provide very good feedback, and
apart from tsan, it seems to be very easy to port to other systems
(basically tell the ucontext layout, the rest is mostly glibc-generic
actually), could somebody have a look?
Apparently asan (address sanitizer) is 64bit only, but lsan (memory
leak) seems to be 32bit too.
When I had a (really quick) look, years ago,
http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/open_issues/_san/, I
found/declared that »[p]orting these to the Hurd is not a trivial task,
for they have intimate knowledge about the operating system kernel
they're running on, and from a first look they reimplement a lot of glibc
by directly using system calls -- which is basically a no-go on GNU
Hurd«. Well, maybe not a no-go, but if my analysis is still correct,
we'd need to add a lot of wrapper code, to call back into the real libc
(instead of doing system calls).
That said, I'd be very happy about such a port, of course. Preferably
this should be done directly upstream, that is, in the LLVM repository.
(Which will then be merged in GCC.)

Thomas
