llvm dev - Nov 2011 - [LLVMdev] google heap profile

Is anybody using the google heap profiler to analyze clang/llvm ??

http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/heapprofile.html

If so, do you know how to modify the build scripts to enable that.

I have tried to use this in the past without terribly much success.
Instead, I usually use Valgrind to analyze the allocation patterns:

I've been using valgrind too. It seems to work fine.

I need to independently validate some numbers though because the answer 
has big implications for some planning we are doing.
