it was certainly worth it.
since I see msan as a kind of valgrind replacement (similar functionality, but ~10x the speed, partially at the cost of more difficult deployment), I did a quick search in gcc bugzilla. 982 PRs mention valgrind, so such functionality is clearly heavily used.
That would be interesting - valgrind is certainly impossible to use on
our Weather Forecasting code (far too large, as valgrind helpfully
points out).
