Name        : valgrind
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 3.7.0
Release     : 4.fc17
URL         : http://www.valgrind.org/
Summary     : Tool for finding memory management bugs in programs
Description :
Valgrind is a tool to help you find memory-management problems in your
programs. When a program is run under Valgrind's supervision, all
reads and writes of memory are checked, and calls to
malloc/new/free/delete are intercepted. As a result, Valgrind can
detect a lot of problems that are otherwise very hard to
find/diagnose.

Update Information:

Adds suppressions for glibc 2.15, .debug_types support and some extra DWARF fixes.
