I will take a look at this - it shouldn't be a problem to get the latest version installed.

Subject: Request for Valgrind version 3.4 on RedHawk

Hello,

My graduate student and I are developed a parallel agent-based simulation
kernel in C++ and  we are trying to ensure the software is free of memory
errors. We are trying to use Valgrind to ensure there are no memory leaks or
memory errors. Unfortunately, there are 71,000 memory errors reported by
Valgrind in mpi-topspin implementation which is obscuring any errors in our
code. We would like to suppress these mpi-topspin errors (which are 95+%
sure are issues in mpi-topspin implementation) in valgrind. Unfortunately,
only the latest version of valgrind (namely version 3.4, we have 3.3
installed on Redhawk) has the one extra suppression feature we need.

I am wondering if it is possible to get the latest version of valgrind
(namely 3.4) installed on RedHawk. Please feel free to contact me if you
need any additional information from  my end.

Thanks

With regards
