Description:
Can the official way to build with Valgrind be documented at

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/cmake-howto-long-version.html

Is it -DWITH_VALGRIND=ON ? Or is there something like -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Valgrind ?

How to repeat:

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/debug-configurations.html

To compile in the Valgrind headers and expose the Valgrind API to MySQL code, enable the WITH_VALGRIND option. Combine this with WITH_DEBUG to generate a debug build that is Valgrind-aware:

cmake .. -DWITH_DEBUG=1 -DWITH_VALGRIND=1

For MySQL 5.5 and 5.6, also enable Purify flags explicitly (this is unnecessary in 5.7 and up):

cmake .. -DWITH_DEBUG=1 -DWITH_VALGRIND=1 \
  -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-DHave_purify -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-DHave_purify
