From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: Would it be possible to update FC4 valgrind to version 3.0 (as included in FC-devel)? Version 3.0 adds support for 64-bit executables. The current FC4 version 2.4 requires recompilation with -m32, which can mask 64-bit issues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): valgrind-2.4.0-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use FC4 x86_64 2. Build 64-bit application program.exe 3. valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=yes program.exe Actual Results: valgrind: wrong executable class (eg. 32-bit instead valgrind: of 64-bit) valgrind: do_exec(./detector.exe) failed: Exec format error Expected Results: valgrind to support 64-bit architecture Additional info:
I don't think that's a good idea. valgrind 3.0.x has completely incompatible API, so all programs using its programming API/ABI. Valgrind 3.0.x+ will be only in FC5+.
