[petsc-dev] OSX and valgrind

[Dave May]

Hey guys,

Yesterday valgrind rolled out a new release which _actually_ works on OSX.
  http://valgrind.org/downloads/current.html

I tried it on my 10.9 system using this configure line
  ./configure --prefix=/Users/dmay/software CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.8
--enable-only64bit --build=amd64-darwin

I did encounter this error during make

m_syscall.c:708:1: error: unknown type name '__private_extern__'
 __private_extern__ UWord
 ^
m_syscall.c:709:1: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__'
before 'do_syscall_unix_WRK'
 do_syscall_unix_WRK ( UWord a1, UWord a2, UWord a3, /* rdi, rsi, rdx */
 ^

Following the instructions here

I was successful building valgrind. Tests revealed it functions correctly.

My buddy using OSX 10.10 pulled it down from HomeBrew and this worked out
of the box.


About f***ing time :)

Cheers,
