valgrind

I'm developing a small application on the side, and valgrind is a pretty important tool for me when it comes to tracking memory leaks and invalid read/writes. Is it possible to use valgrind in a 64bit environment? I'm sure it probably wouldn't work with 64bit applications, but what about 32bit? From what I've read about the program, it was written at a pretty low level and ties in with a lot of CPU type functionality, so I'm wondering if it's still possible to run it without error. Thanks.

You can currently only use valggrind on 32-bit applications compiled for x86. The bug/wish for amd64 support is here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75247.

The work should be underway from what I hear on the mailing list. From the bug it is non-trivial, so it will probably be a while.
