I am using ubuntu 10.04 and i have a program a.c. If you normally run your program like this Myprog arg1 arg2 use this command line Your program will run much slower (eg 20 to 30 times) than normal, and use a lot more memory Memcheck will issue messages about memory errors and leaks that it detects.
Use helgrind for detecting threading errors How do i interpret still reachable leaks? Here is the full leak report for our simple leak.cpp program: Valgrind was able to tell us exactly where the un free d memory was Now, this is obviously a very simple program and you can tell where the leak is right away, but that won't always be the case. This option tells valgrind to perform a comprehensive leak check, reporting all the detected memory leaks with full details
Improve your c/c++ programming skills and create more stable applications The loss record numbers can be used in the valgrind gdbserver to list the addresses of the leaked blocks and/or give more details about how a block is still reachable The <set> of leak kinds is specified in one of the following ways: The command you should execute (assuming a.out is the executable) is
