Description-en: instrumentation framework for building dynamic analysis tools
Valgrind is a system for debugging and profiling Linux programs. With its tool
suite you can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs,
avoiding hours of frustrating bug-hunting and making your programs more stable.
You can also perform detailed profiling to help speed up your programs and use
Valgrind to build new tools.
.
The Valgrind distribution currently includes six production-quality tools:
* a memory error detector (Memcheck)
* two thread error detectors (Helgrind and DRD)
* a cache and branch-prediction profiler (Cachegrind)
* a call-graph generating cache and branch-prediction profiler (Callgrind)
* a heap profiler (Massif)
It also includes three experimental tools:
* a stack/global array overrun detector (SGCheck)
* a second heap profiler that examines how heap blocks are used (DHAT)
* a SimPoint basic block vector generator (BBV)
