Every time I try to run valgrind on my OS X 10.8 notebook, I get:
bad executable (no stack)
valgrind: ./a.out: cannot execute binary file
What is the problem? How can I fix this? Everything works fine on Linux, so it's not that I'm somehow misusing valgrind. The exact line I'm using is valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full ./a.out.
I was getting the same error, but I just upgraded valgrind to 3.8.1 (brew upgrade valgrind using HomeBrew for me), and it works, although running Valgrind prints the following warning:
