I'll try to be clearer: is this SimpleProgramDebugger a Windows alternative to Valgrind or other Linux tools that people use to do profiling, backtraces etc. etc. ?
From the http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/simple_program_debugger.html description, it seems (to me) that it's more similar to process monitor (and Linux's strace tool) that monitors syscalls. This is useful sometimes, but in most cases it's not what we're searching for.
I have no experience at all with Linux and I don't have enough spare time to learn it, so I wonder if this Windows tool may be used by Windows users like me to obtain the same results as Linux users do with Valgrind. if yes, will the developers be able to interpret SimpleProgramDebugger's output like they already do with Valgrind?
To me, the most useful input from users to a step by step description of the problem, so that I can reproduce myself. On Windows, this means then I can debug the problem myself using Visual Studio's debugger. I didn't have to deal with Windows-specific memory corruption issues yet, though previously it was reported that DrMemory (<http://www.drmemory.org/>) does a pretty good job at it. Best, Miklos
