38Nulgrind is a Valgrind skin that does not very much at all.

43<h2>1&nbsp; Nulgrind</h2>

45Nulgrind is the minimal skin for Valgrind. It does no initialisation or
46finalisation, and adds no instrumentation to the program's code. It is mainly
47of use for Valgrind's developers for debugging and regression testing.
48<p>
49Nonetheless you can run programs with Nulgrind. They will run roughly 5-10
50times more slowly than normal, for no useful effect. Note that you need to use
51the option <code>--skin=none</code> to run Nulgrind (ie. not
52<code>--skin=nulgrind</code>).
