-31-bitclientprogramsarenotsupported.<br>
-Hexadecimalfloatingpointisnotsupported.<br>
-memcheck,cachegrind,drd,helgrind,massif,lackey,andnoneare<br>

Hardwarefacilities<br>
-------------------<br>
Valgrinddoesnotrequirethatthehostmachinehasthesamehardware<br>

Thisisconvenient.TheJITcompilerwilltranslatetheclientinstructions<br>
accordingtothefacilitiesavailableonthehost.<br>
Thismeans,though,thatprobingforhardwarefacilitiesbyissuing<br>
