Hi, I'd like to compare some numbers from bitcoind to the work that I'm doing. If I run with the -reindex option, will that revalidate all transactions as part of rebuilding the chainstate? I'd like to compare numbers when validating from genesis with the block data already on disk.

I suppose so. In effect, this will give you the ability to ask bitcoind for any transaction even if it wasnt made by you, and it will return with good info about it.
