Valgrind is a 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 and
|
||
|
|
branch-prediction profiler, and a heap profiler. It also includes
|
||
|
|
three experimental tools: a heap/stack/global array overrun detector,
|
||
|
|
a different kind of heap profiler, and a SimPoint basic block vector
|
||
|
|
generator. It runs on the following platforms: x86/Linux, AMD64/Linux,
|
||
|
|
PPC32/Linux, PPC64/Linux, ARM/Linux, x86/MacOSX and AMD64/MacOSX.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Optional dependency: either mpich or openmpi. If one of these is
|
||
|
|
found, valgrind will include the MPI wrapper, which allows using
|
||
|
|
valgrind with software that uses the MPI message passing standard.
|
||
|
|
Note that only one of mpich or openmpi should be installed, as they
|
||
|
|
conflict with each other.
