A patched mirror of Valgrind that adds support for recent macOS versions, distributed via a Homebrew tap. It lets developers run memory error detection and profiling tools on modern macOS including Apple Silicon.
Use cases
- run valgrind on macOS Sonoma or Sequoia
- detect memory leaks in a program on Apple Silicon Macs
- debug memory errors on macOS arm64
- install valgrind via Homebrew on a Mac
- profile a C/C++ application on macOS
When to choose
- you need Valgrind on a recent macOS version unsupported by upstream
- you develop on Apple Silicon and need memory debugging
- you want a Homebrew-installable Valgrind on macOS
When to avoid
- you are on Linux and can use upstream Valgrind directly
- you need PowerPC support
- you prefer sanitizers like ASan/LeakSan over Valgrind
