What about something like:

  It runs Valgrind with its default analysis tool, `memcheck', which
  reports memory management and access errors in a human-readable way.

Other than that, looks good to me!

Perhaps this could be enclosed in a section on run-time memory
management error detection, with pointers to GCC’s Mudflap and
‘-fstack-protector’.

The document could also point at memory-safe languages available in GNU,
like, say, Guile.

What do you think?

FWIW, I second Karl’s suggestion to use Texinfo.

Thanks,
