Answer 1

Currently, no. The repo you link has an issue raised about Catalina compatibility. As you also show, the brew package has its own problems as well. Official valgrind only supports 10.12.

You'll just have to wait, or containerize it. Although if you containerize valgrind, you would likely need a compatible build container as well.

Answer 3

This is how I just did it on Catalina 10.15.5:

brew remove valgrind # remove previous attempts at installing it (if any)
brew tap LouisBrunner/valgrind
brew install --HEAD LouisBrunner/valgrind/valgrind

Answer 4

Works amazingly!! see https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos/issues/5.

Not Homebrew, you need to compile it from source, but it's not so difficult.

1. git clone https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos.git
2. cd valgrind
3. sudo ./autogen.sh
4. sudo ./configure --prefix=/where/you/want/it/installed --enable-only64bit
5. copy the [contents][1] to ./coregrind/m_mach/mach_basics.c
6. sudo make 
7. sudo make install

enjoy!
