+Valgrind is an award-winning suite of tools for debugging and profiling
+Linux programs. With the tools that come with Valgrind, you can
+automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, avoiding
+hours of frustrating bug-hunting, making your programs more stable. You can
+also perform detailed profiling, to speed up and reduce memory use of your
+programs.

+The Valgrind distribution currently includes five tools: two memory error
detectors, a thread error detector, a cache profiler and a heap profiler.
-Several other tools have been built with Valgrind.
To give you an idea of what Valgrind tools do, when a program is run
under the supervision of the first memory error detector tool, all reads
