Description

Postgres has some built in valgrind support (which makes valgrind know about palloc and some more things). You have to set -DUSE_VALGRIND in CFLAGS (and I guess maybe CXXFLAGS) when runinng ./configure.

This would be very useful to do this to find issues like #213 more easily.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to enable Valgrind support in the build system by setting CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS with DUSE VALGRIND during configure.
