1.2. 特点
- 可以在几个流行的平台上运行,例如 x86/Linux、AMD64/Linux 和 PPC32/Linux。
- 适用于所有主要的 Linux 发行版,包括 Red Hat、SuSE、Debian、Gentoo、Slackware、Mandrake 等。
- 使用动态二进制检测,因此您无需修改、重新编译或重新链接您的应用程序。可以在没有源代码的程序上使用。
- 适用于以任何语言编写的程序,无论是编译的、即时编译的还是解释的。它可以用于调试和分析以混合语言编写的系统。
- 工具使用更多的语言是 C 和 C++ 编写的程序。
- Valgrind 会让程序运行速度明显变慢。
- valgrind 不能用于调试正在运行的程序
1.3. 使用示例
valgrind --malloc-fill=98 --free-fill=97 --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --track-origins=yes --verbose --log-file=valgrind.log ./helloword.exe argc1 argc2
说明:详见参数说明
1.4. 参数说明
valgrind -h 可以查看帮助
1.4.1. 常用参数
-
--tool=<toolname> [default: memcheck]
- valgrind 支持不少检查工具,用的更多的是内存检查(memcheck), --tool= 用于选择你需要执行的工具,如果不指明则默认为 memcheck。
-
检测类型
-
--show-leak-kinds=<set> [default: definite,possible]
- 设置检查泄露类型,
definite 明确的
indirect 间接
possible 可能
reachable 可达
这4种可以设置多个,以逗号相隔 - 可以用 all 表示全部类型,none 表示啥都不显示
- 设置检查泄露类型,
-
--show-reachable=<yes | no>
控制是否检测 reachable、indirect 类型泄露,默认只检测 definite,possible 类型--show-reachable
=yes 等效于--show-leak-kinds
=all
-
--show-possibly-lost=<yes | no>
控制是否检测 possible 类型泄露 -
填充数据
-
--malloc-fill=<hexnumber>
- 对用 malloc 和 new 分配出的内存块,用 hexnumber 对其进行初始化填充,但 calloc 分配的则不用。
- 这个选项可能对那些不易察觉的 memory corruption(内存损坏)问题有用, 便于观察内存数据那些使用了,那些没使用
-
--free-fill=<hexnumber>
一般和 malloc-fill 配合使用- 当用 free 和 delete 释放一个内存块时,用 hexnumber 对内存块进行填充。便于观察内存数据那些释放了,那些没释放
- 它的好处与 --malloc-fill 的相同,被填充的内存仍不能被访问,它只影响它里面的内容。
-
未定义错误
-
--undef-value-errors=<yes|no>
- 默认是 yes,即 memcheck 会报道引用未定义错误(uses of undefined value errors),这对检测速度有点影响。
-
--track-origins=<yes | no> [default: no]
- undef-value-errors 设置为 yes 有效
- 对使用非初始化的变量的异常,是否跟踪其来源
- 在确定要分析
使用未初始化内存
错误时设置即可,平时设置这个会导致程序执行非常慢。
1.4.2. 展示
--leak-check=<no|summary|yes|full>
- 如果设为 yes 或 full,在被调程序结束后,valgrind 会详细叙述每一个内存泄露情况
- 默认是summary,只报道发生了几次内存泄露
--verbose
显示详细信息--log-file=<filename>
--log-fd=<number> [default: 2, stderr]
- valgrind 打印日志转存到指定文件或者文件描述符。
- 如果没有这个参数,valgrind 的日志会连同用户程序的日志一起输出,会显得非常乱。
--leak-resolution=<low|med|high>
- 这个选项设定内存检查工具在检测出多个内存泄露时,如何将这些内存泄露归结为同一个泄露(合并那些由相同原因引起的)
- 设为 low 时,试图合并前两个泄露情况
- 设为 med,则是前四个
- 默认是high,试图合并所有的泄露情况。
- 这个选项不影响memcheck找泄露的能力,只是影响它的检测结果显示。
1.4.3. 子进程、动态加载库及记录时机
--trace-children=<yes | no> [default: no]
- 是否跟踪子进程,若是多进程的程序,则建议使用这个功能。不过单进程使能了也不会有多大影响。
--keep-debuginfo=<yes | no> [default: no]
- 如果程序有使用 动态加载库(dlopen),在动态库卸载时(dlclose),debug信息都会被清除。使能这个选项后,即使动态库被卸载,也会保留调用栈信息。
--keep-stacktraces=<alloc | free | alloc-and-free | alloc-then-free | none> [default: alloc-and-free]
- 内存泄漏不外乎申请和释放不配对,函数调用栈是只在申请时记录,还是在申请释放时都记录
- 如果我们只关注内存泄漏,其实完全没必要申请释放都记录,因为这会占用非常多的额外内存和更多的 CPU 损耗,让本来就执行慢的程序雪上加霜。
1.4.4. 查错内存优化
--freelist-vol=<number>
- 当客户程序用 free 或 delete 释放一个内存块时,这个内存块不会立即可用于再分配,它只会被放在一个freed blocks的队列中(freelist)并被标记为不可访问,这样有利于探测到在一段很重要的时间后,客户程序又对被释放的块进行访问的错误。
- 这个选项规定了队列所占的字节块大小,默认是20MB。
- 增大这个选项的会增大memcheck的内存开销,但查这类错的能力也会提升。
--freelist-big-blocks=<number>
- 当从 freelist 队列中取可用内存块用于再分配时,memcheck 将会从那些比 number 大的内存块中按优先级取出一个块出来用。
- 这个选项就防止了 freelist 中那些小的内存块的频繁调用,这个选项提高了 查到针对小内存块的野指针错误的几率。
- 若这个选项设为0,则所有的块将按先进先出的原则用于再分配。
- 默认是1M。
1.4.5. 其他不常用
--partial-loads-ok=<yes|no>
- 这个选项决定 memcheck 如何处理 word-sized 和 word-aligned 数据(来自 addresses)的加载情况,addresses处的一些字节块的地址是可重分配地址的,其余的不可。
- 若设为 yes,这种加载不会产生任何错误,当从非法地址处加载字节时会被标记为 uninitialised,从合法地址加载的则按正常方式处理。
- 默认是 no,即将从部分无效的地址处的加载与从完全无效地址处的加载作同等处理,非法地址错误会被报道出来,相应的字节块被标记为initialised。
- 其实这样的代码是不符 ISO C/C++ 标准的,它应该被视为 broken,不管如何,应该修正这样的代码,这个选项应该被作为最后的手段。
--workaround-gcc296-bugs=<yes|no>
- 若开启这个选项,则当对栈顶指针下不远处进行读写时不会报错(gcc2.96的bug)
- 默认是no。
- 尽量不要开启这个选项,因为它真有可能造成错误而又不易被察觉,解决方法是用最新的 GCC,它会修正这个错误。
- 在老一点的GCC版本上,可能要用到这个选项。
--ignore-ranges=0x12-0x34[,0x56-0x78]
- 这些区间之间的地址,在 memcheck 的寻址检查时将被省略,
- 可以有多个地址区间,逗号隔开。
