Valgrind is an award-winning 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 production-quality tools: a
|
|
|
|
|
memory error detector, two thread error detectors, a cache and
|
|
|
|
|
branch-prediction profiler, a call-graph generating cache profiler, and a
|
|
|
|
|
heap profiler. It also includes two experimental tools: a heap/stack/global
|
|
|
|
|
array overrun detector, and a SimPoint basic block vector generator. It runs
|
|
|
|
|
on the following platforms: X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, PPC32/Linux, PPC64/Linux,
|
|
|
|
|
and X86/Darwin (Mac OS X).
