| Summary : Valgrind, an open-source memory debugger for x86-linux
|
Description :
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 []
