This repository contains a version of Valgrind including a few patches to improve support for the macOS platform. It is maintained by Louis Brunner.
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.
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/valgrindThen, install valgrind:
brew install --HEAD LouisBrunner/valgrind/valgrindYou can now use valgrind as normal.
Note: in case of failures during the build, make sure you have the latest Xcode/CLI tools installed.
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- 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
-UNHANDLEDmessages- Run regtest in parallel [patch in progess]
Some tests are blocking and were therefore disabled on macOS:
none/tests/pselect_alarmnone/tests/pth_term_signal
These errors seem to come from the CI environment itself (as they show with or without my changes).
