GDB and Valgrind Usage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When using GDB or valgrind on pacman, you will want to run it on the actual
binary rather than the shell script wrapper produced by libtool. The actual
binary lives at `src/pacman/.libs/lt-pacman`, and will exist after running
`./src/pacman/pacman` at least once.
For example, to run valgrind:
./src/pacman/pacman
valgrind --leak-check=full -- src/pacman/.libs/lt-pacman -Syu
