Dynamic program analysis with `Valgrind`

Valgrind is a framework for dynamic program analysis. The most usefull tools are

The callgraph generator Callgrind.

Which can be called via
```
valgrind --tool=callgrind program
```
The output file can be analysed with KCachegrind. In order to dump intermediate results call
```
callgrind_control -d
```
The memory error detector Memcheck.

Which can be called via
```
valgrind --suppressions=$ROOTSYS/etc/valgrind-root.supp program
```
The suppression file suppresses false positive hits from ROOT. The output can be analysed with Valkyrie.
