Nethercote: Twenty years of Valgrind

Nicholas Nethercote marks
the 20th anniversary of the Valgrind 1.0 release.

It’s both delightful and surreal to see that Valgrind is still in
wide use today. Julian [Seward’s] original goal was to raise the
bar when it came to correctness for C and C++ programs. This has
clearly been a huge success. Memcheck has found countless bugs in
countless programs, and is a standard part of the testing setup for
many of them.
