   I remember seeing someone writing a blog post about how they stopped
their porting attempts to NetBSD because they said that Valgrind is
simply too Linux-specific, and even if a reasonably functional port
would be made, maintaining it would be too much work.

   Granted, this was many years ago -- things might be different now.


   As an alternative, what's the status of ASan and its cousin
sanitizers on NetBSD?
