Valgrind is an instrumentation framework for building dynamic analysis tools. There are Valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, and profile your programs in detail.
valgrind is an instrumentation framework for building dynamic analysis tools. there are valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, and profile your programs in detail. you can also use valgrind to build new tools.
the valgrind distribution currently includes six productionquality tools: a memory error detector, two thread error detectors, a cache and branchprediction profiler, a callgraph generating cache and branchprediction profiler, and a heap profiler. it also includes three experimental tools: a heap/stack/global array overrun detector, a second heap profiler that examines how heap blocks are used, and a simpoint basic block vector generator.
