Some tricks I always forgot on MacOSX:

ldd -> otools -L

strace/ltrace -> ktrace / kdump


some valgrind 'feature' to gdb an unitialized var you need to use valgrind macro:

From [How to output address of the unitialized value? ]

Your best bet in that case is to inspect the code at the failing

location and see if there is an obvious cause, and if not then to
try inserting some assertions using the valgrind macros to try and
work out what is uninitialised - assertions like this will do it:

  assert( !VALGRIND_CHECK_READABLE( &variable, sizeof( variable ) ) );
