This is on by default when building from CVS or snapshots, but off for releases. More control over the checks may be had by specifying @var{list}; the categories of checks available are @samp{release}, @samp{assert}, @samp{misc}, @samp{tree}, @samp{gc}, -@samp{rtl}, @samp{rtlflag}, @samp{fold}, @samp{gcac} and +@samp{rtl}, @samp{rtlflag}, @samp{runtime}, @samp{fold}, @samp{gcac} and @samp{valgrind}. The @samp{release} category enables only those checks -suitable for release builds, currently this is just @samp{assert}. The -check @samp{valgrind} requires the external @command{valgrind} -simulator, available from @uref{http://valgrind.kde.org/}. The checks -@samp{rtl}, @samp{gcac} and @samp{valgrind} are very expensive. The -default when @var{list} is not specified is -@samp{assert,misc,tree,gc,rtlflag}.
