I agree. But one inevitably runs into problems relying on valgrind and other 
third party tools:

1. it isn't part of the language

2. it may not be available on your platform

3. somebody has to find it, install it, and integrate it into the dev/test process

4. it's incredibly slow to run valgrind, so there are powerful tendencies to skip it

valgrind is a stopgap measure, and has saved me much grief over the years, but 
it is NOT the solution.
