Description Orgad Shaneh 2017-08-01 13:00:46 UTC 
$ nc -l -p 20000 &
[1] 2811
$ valgrind --xml-socket=127.0.0.1:20000 --xml=yes true 
valgrind: Bad option: --xml=yes, but no XML destination specified
valgrind: --xml=yes has been specified, but there is no XML output
valgrind: destination.  You must specify an XML output destination
valgrind: using --xml-fd, --xml-file or --xml-socket.
valgrind: Use --help for more information or consult the user manual.
[1]+  Done                    nc -l -p 20000

It looks like valgrind does connect to the socket, but closes it immediately (netcat quits after valgrind is executed).
