I remember how much my work improved when I got to use Purify. The pager just stopped going off after a while.

- ta8645 2y agoDid you find it superior to Valgrind in some way?
- michael1999 2y agoNo. Purify was the commercial software that inspired Valgrind. It was Reed Hastings' first company, and I came across it working at a bank in 1996. I moved to Java with the millennium, and missed the rise of Valgrind. I'm just happy that everyone has good tools now. Writing C in those days was a rough business.
