I am not sure for FreeBSD 4.x, but in FreeBSD 5.x you can use /etc/malloc.conf -> AJ instead to debug the memory. It does work great, but I don’t know how it compares with Valgrind. Linux doesn’t has the memory debug, so it will need Valgrind to help debug the things.
2Jörg Sonnenberger on Jan 24, 2004 at 6:50 pm:
Valgrind catches things like reading uninitialized variables, too. That’s impossible with malloc.conf
But malloc.conf doesn’t have such a big impact on performance
