- As of gcc 6.3.0, this exposes some good things but appears to also have some false positive leak reports. Valgrind is more reliable but also may miss some things that this catches.
-* Consider running tests with latest gcc and/or valgrind. To test with valgrind:
- ```
- ./configure --disable-shared
- make -j8 -k VALGRIND=1
- make -k check NO_REBUILD=1
- ```
- This moves each binary into a subdirectory and replaces it with a link to make/exec-z. See make/exec-z.
+ The test suite should run clean with this. This seems to be more reliable than valgrind.
* Test with clang.
* Check all open issues in the sourceforge trackers and on github.
* If any interfaces were added or changed, check C API to see whether changes are appropriate there as well. If necessary, review the casting policy in the manual, and ensure that integer types are properly handled.

If you want to run `make maintainer-clean`, `make distclean`, or `make autofiles.zip` and you haven't run `./configure`, you can pass `CLEAN=1` to make on the command line to prevent it from complaining about configure not having been run.
-If you want to run checks without rerunning the build, pass `NO_REBUILD=1` to make. This can be useful for special testing scenarios such as valgrind or binary compatibility.
