Is there a emacs valgrind interface?

I was wondering if there is a reliable emacs interface for valgrind and its different tools? I have searched and sadly not found anything.

It would be interesting to have something to jump to the concerning lines via memcheck.

Thank you in advance.

Being late at this but I thought I would mention the following:

  • Although the compilation-shell-minor mode will work, you might have to fill in some extra info (as to where the file is located).

You may want to look at some of the code I implemented in my PEL package.

  • As part of my PEL package, I implemented the pel-open-at-point global command that can search and open a file identified by an error message, and jump to specified line/column. It can also be informed about a context to search for the file in using one of several method, selected by customization.
    • That is not restricted to valgrind, you can use it in any mode, including the terminal or shell modes.
    • It also supports glob. So you can type *.c and execute the command on that to get a prompt for the C files it finds, for example.
    • See the PEL PDF for file management for more information on pel-open-at-point. Look at the second page.

The compilation mode has regexps for this. You may like compilation-shell-minor-mode as well.
