| 33 | <p>Nulgrind is the simplest possible Valgrind tool. It performs no |
| 34 | instrumentation or analysis of a program, just runs it normally. It is |
| 35 | mainly of use for Valgrind's developers for debugging and regression |
| 36 | testing.</p> |
| 37 | <p>Nonetheless you can run programs with Nulgrind. They will run |
| 38 | roughly 5 times more slowly than normal, for no useful effect. Note |
| 39 | that you need to use the option <code class="option">--tool=none</code> to run |
| 40 | Nulgrind (ie. not <code class="option">--tool=nulgrind</code>).</p> |
