Every XS authors should use Test::Valgrind

Test::Valgrind is a perl wrapper for valgrind(1). T::V helps to find invalid memory operation.

You can use it by command line like following:

prove --exec 'perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch -MTest::Valgrind' t/*.t

Or use it as test script. You can put it on xt/.

           use Test::More;
           use Test::Requires 'Test::Valgrind';
           leaky();

Latest stable version of valgrind is not supported OSX 10.6, yet. But, you can install valgrind from repository HEAD.
