Description Matt Fago 2010-06-08 04:37:10 UTC 
It would be very handy if the available tools were listed in the  
output of --help.  Is this something that might make it into a future  
release? Did I overlook it?The only place I've seen such a list is in  
the online docs.
Comment 1 Nicholas Nethercote 2010-06-08 07:44:20 UTC 
This feature was present in older versions but then some internals changed which made it harder to support, so it was dropped.

Maybe the TOOLS and EXP_TOOLS variables in the top level Makefile could be passed into the compilation of m_main.c.
Comment 2 Paul Floyd 2023-01-11 20:46:46 UTC 
I was a bit lazy and just added to the text rather than trying to propagate TOOLS and EXP_TOOLS to the recursive make call in coregrind and then to m_main.c

Might be a slight bother to packagers that add in out-of-repo tools.
