Description

Getting valgrind onto Mac would save a tremendous amount of people a lot of pain (aka un-sanitizable bugs).

Why don't we have a culture where such important issues are immediatly connected to a bounty system?

I for one would put money on the line.

PS:

brew install --HEAD LouisBrunner/valgrind/valgrind
Error: Valgrind is currently incompatible with ARM-based Macs, see https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos/issues/56

couldn't build from sources, but that's not part of this issue.
`ld: archive member '/' not a mach-o file in '../coregrind/libreplacemalloc_toolpreload-arm64-darwin.a'`

Research direction

The issue names the brew install command, ARM-based Macs, and incompatibility issue 56, but no repository file or test. Start by reviewing issue 56 and the reported ARM build error, then clarify with maintainers what bounty-backed change is wanted. Done requires an agreed scope and acceptance criteria for Mac support.
