What is Valgrind?
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.
Valgrind executes a program 20-30 times slower and performs dynamic code analysis.
Description
The Valgrind distribution currently includes seven production-quality tools:
- Memcheck
- Cachegrind
- Callgrind
- Massif
- Helgrind
- DRD
- DHAT
