Re: [Valgrind-users] [Valgrind-developers] Removing the exp-sgcheck tool

I would also be in favour of removing it.  Doing so would remove several
thousand LOC from the tree, perhaps over 10K.  Anything that sgcheck can
do, ASan can do faster and with a lower noise level.  So I don't think it
would be missed.

I am in agreement.
