It's easy to do, but gives bazillions of warnings even for the most trivial programs. Even if you religiously avoid undefined values in your code (eg. by padding out your structs) all the libraries you use will copy undefined values around like crazy. http://www.valgrind.org/njn/pubs/memcheck2005.pdf may be worth reading for more background.
