Wrapper for a set of expert tools for profiling, optimizing and debugging programs.
Commonly used tools include `memcheck`, `cachegrind`, `callgrind`, `massif`, `helgrind`, and `drd`.
More information.
- Use the (default) Memcheck tool to show a diagnostic of memory usage by `program`:
- Use Memcheck to report all possible memory leaks of `program` in full detail:
valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all {program}
- Use the Cachegrind tool to profile and log CPU cache operations of `program`:
valgrind --tool=cachegrind {program}
- Use the Massif tool to profile and log heap memory and stack usage of `program`:
valgrind --tool=massif --stacks=yes {program}
