nethercote137bc552003-11-14 17:47:54 +000045Nulgrind is the minimal tool for Valgrind. It does no initialisation or
sewardja9a2dcf2002-11-11 00:20:07 +000046finalisation, 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
nethercote137bc552003-11-14 17:47:54 +000051the option <code>--tool=none</code> to run Nulgrind (ie. not
52<code>--tool=nulgrind</code>).
