Anyone know of any programs like Valgrind that are available for PPC?

Perhaps if you explained what Valgrind actually is?

Angus_D: Cmd-L, tab, Valgrind, enter.

Coolmacdude: If you are talking about OS X, and not just PPC, then:

For malloc error catching, man malloc. There are several env variables you can set to catch writes to dealloc'ed chunks and stack logging for leaks etc.

Also see MallocDebug and (for ObjC) ObjectAlloc which give you nice allocation tree tables etc.

For profiling, look at CHUD, especially Shark.

You are assuming that the OS X Unix kernel guru is using Safari. Now what would make you assume that? Hmmm???

Regardless of what browser you use, it takes less time to google a word than it does to post here.

I checked that out but I still like Valgrind a lot better since it gives you a printout of all the errors at once when the program exits instead of core dumping on the first one like most of the other checkers do.
