Valgrind is a GPL'd tool to help you find memory-management problems
|
|
in your programs. When a program is run under Valgrind's supervision,
|
|
all reads and writes of memory are checked, and calls to
|
|
malloc/new/free/delete are intercepted. As a result, Valgrind can
|
|
detect problems such as
|
|
|
|
- Use of uninitialised memory
|
|
- Reading/writing memory after it has been free'd
|
|
- Reading/writing off the end of malloc'd blocks
|
|
- Reading/writing inappropriate areas on the stack
|
|
- Memory leaks -- where pointers to malloc'd blocks are lost forever
|
|
- Passing of uninitialised and/or unaddressible memory to system calls
|
|
- Mismatched use of malloc/new/new [] vs free/delete/delete []
|
|
- Some abuses of the POSIX Pthreads API
