I've found bugs with Valgrind that Purify never found.

I've found bugs with Purify that Valgrind never found.


For serious development, I'd make sure I had both.  I'd also evaluate
Purify on my desired development platform too -- when I last evaluated
Purify on Linux it was barely usable.  Valgrind just worked on Linux.
Purify on Solaris just worked too, so I used it there.
