Run valgrind in 32 bit mode on Mac 10.6?

If I compile a 32 bit executable in Mac 10.6, with the -m32 flag, like:

gcc -m32 test.c -o test

running valgrind on "test" fails with the error:

valgrind: ./test: cannot execute binary file

Are there any flags to pass to valgrind to e开发者_如何学编程xecute this? Is the only option to compile valgrind in 32 bit mode?

Thanks

Blender, the -m32 flag just means to compile the file in 32-bit mode. Mac 10.6 runs 32-bit executables just fine.

I had this problem too, with valgrind built/installed by MacPorts. When I built it myself, however, the problem went away. I can confirm that a default build of valgrind with no extra configure options supports both 32-bit and 64-bit programs on Snow Leopard (used version 3.6.1.)

What version of Valgrind are you having trouble with?

On Linux and MacOS, a single build of Valgrind can automatically detect and do the right thing for both 32 and 64-bit binaries.

Here is what I see on Mac OS X 10.6.7 (10J869):

$ echo "int main() { free(1); return 0; }" | gcc -xc - -g -o a.out
$ echo "int main() { free(1); return 0; }" | gcc -xc - -g -o a.out32 -m32
$ valgrind --version
