macOS Valgrind on High Sierra?

[yanksrock100]

I recently upgraded to High Sierra and realized that Valgrind doesn't work anymore. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and it won't work either. Is there any workaround to get Valgrind working on High Sierra? I've been searching everywhere but I can't seem to find it.

Are there any alternatives in the meantime? My university requires us to use Valgrind and my next quarter begins soon.

If anybody has any information/help, that would be great.

If you can't find a native version for High Sierra, you could always install Virtual Box and a Linux x64 distro.

Virthual Box, with the Guest Additions installed allows apps running on the Linux VM to run in a window on the Mac with the Linux OS running in the background. So, if you get a reasonably small profile distribution of Linux, it shouldn't impact Mac performance too much. Best, Virtual Box and Linux are no cost.

No doubt they will eventually update the app, so above may be less painful that downgrading your Mac.

This is probably what I will do in the meantime. Thank you!

Even better than that get Docker setup and running, great thing to learn anyways.
