// If we have the valgrind headers available, we can detect whether
// valgrind is running. This should normally never be done, as you
// want the to test the actual code in operation with valgrind.
//
// However, there is a limited set of operations where we want to
// skip some tests if run under valgrind, most notably the
// EXPECT_DEATH tests, as these would report memory leaks by
// definition.
//
// If the valgrind headers are NOT available, the method checkValgrind()
// always returns false; i.e. it always pretends the program is run
// natively
