valgrind

I'm using Valgrind 3.3.1 with the Massif tool to profile the heap of a C++ application, and I'm wondering if there is a graphical tool to examine the textual outputfile file. Thanks for any suggestion. For anyone else who is still interested in graphical output of Massif from Valgrind please consider massif-visualizer , it is beautiful. You can find the project page at KDE-Apps . For Ubuntu you should build massif-visualizer from source or install package from Kubuntu-ppa repo: add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports apt-get update && apt-get install massif-visualizer There is a Qt

#include <string.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ char *str = malloc(sizeof(char)*5); str = strcpy(str, "test"); printf("%s\n", str); free(str); return 0; } When I use Valgrind on my Mac (OS X, 10.9.5) I get the following message: ==77215== HEAP SUMMARY: ==77215== in use at exit: 29,211 bytes in 374 blocks ==77215== total heap usage: 451 allocs, 77 frees, 35,160 bytes allocated ==77215== ==77215== 4,096 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 76 of 76 ==77215== at 0x66CB: malloc (in /usr/local/Cellar/valgrind/3.10.0/lib/valgrind/vgpreload

So... I'm trying to eliminate some memory leaks from my GTK+ 3 program. I though it would be a good idea to look back at some simple examples to see if there is some cleanup stuff I'm forgetting, but the hello_world program provided in the documentation has leaks too. (Valgrind output below). Are these leaks acceptable? If so, is there some other application I should be using to debug GTK programs? ==13717== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==13717== Copyright (C) 2002-2012, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==13717== Using Valgrind-3.8.1 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info =

Whenever I create a pthread, valgrind outputs a memory leak, For example the below code: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <pthread.h> void *timer1_function (void *eit){ (void) eit; printf("hello world\n"); pthread_exit(NULL); } int main(void){ pthread_t timer1; pthread_create( &timer1, NULL, timer1_function, NULL); ///////line13 int i=0; for(i=0;i<2;i++){usleep(1);} return 0; } valgrind outputs ==1395== HEAP SUMMARY: ==1395== in use at exit: 136 bytes in 1 blocks ==1395== total heap usage: 6 allocs, 5 frees, 1,134 bytes allocated ==1395== ==1395== 136 bytes in 1 blocks are

Or preferably all of them instead of just my code? My program uses Gtk, Loudmouth and few other things, and these two (and some behind them, libgcrypto, libssl) are causing so many errors themselves that I'm unable to detect my own. Is it possible to make valgrind ignore things coming from deeper than my own code? You can generate suppressions for the errors for the libraries, but I don't think you can exclude the libraries generally. Also it's hard to automatically know if a memory error in the library is caused by a problem in your code or not. Assuming you are running the memcheck tool and

Here is the SDL program: #include <SDL/SDL.h> int main(int argc, char** argv){ SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO); SDL_Surface* screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 16, SDL_HWSURFACE); SDL_Quit(); return 0; } Compiled with the command: g++ -o test test.cpp -lSDL And here is the output of valgrind: christian@christian-laptop:~/cpp/tetris$ valgrind --leak-check=full ./test ==3271== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==3271== Copyright (C) 2002-2009, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==3271== Using Valgrind-3.5.0-Debian and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==3271== Command: ./test ==3271== =
