Valgrind for macOS Build

This repository contains a version of Valgrind including a few patches to improve support for the macOS platform. It is maintained by Louis Brunner.

Status

Valgrind now builds and works on every macOS version

Note that some features are still in progress:

  • crash when using wqthread (used in certain UI frameworks)
  • using threads and signals is undefined

It is currently tested on 10.14.6 and 10.15.4.

Checkout the patches branch for a list of patches that can be directly applied to the upstream Valgrind.

Usage

In case you already have Valgrind installed, you might need to brew remove it first.

In order to use this version, first tap this repository:

brew tap LouisBrunner/valgrind

Then, install valgrind:

brew install --HEAD LouisBrunner/valgrind/valgrind

You can now use valgrind as normal.

Note: in case of failures during the build, make sure you have the latest Xcode/CLI tools installed.

Update

Any brew upgrade will now correctly rebuild the latest LouisBrunner/valgrind instead of the upstream one (which doesn't support latest macOS versions).

brew upgrade --fetch-HEAD LouisBrunner/valgrind/valgrind

TODO

  • Get historical build data from sourceforge for macOS 10.13
  • pthread and signals blocking (re-enable tests) [patch in progess]
  • wqthread broken (see #4) [patch in progress]
  • drd thread related crash on 10.15
  • -UNHANDLED messages
  • Run regtest in parallel [patch in progess]

Tests

Some tests are blocking and were therefore disabled on macOS:

  • none/tests/pselect_alarm
  • none/tests/pth_term_signal

Linux (Ubuntu 18.04)

These errors seem to come from the CI environment itself (as they show with or without my changes).
