valgrind的安装及使用

ubuntu16.04环境下valgrind的安装及使用

1、Valgrind简介

• Valgrind是运行在Linux上一套基于仿真技术的程序调试和分析工具，它的主要作者是获得过Google-O’Reilly开源大奖的Julian Seward，它包含一个内核——个软件合成的CPU，和一系列的小工具，每个工具都可以完成一项任务──调试，分析，或测试等；
• Valgrind可以检测内存泄漏和内存违例，还可以分析cache的使用等，灵活轻巧而又强大，能直穿程序错误的心脏，真可谓是程序员的瑞士军刀。

2、安装

sudo apt-get install valgrind

3、使用Memcheck工具进行内存分析

3.1、test.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char *pchar = (char *)malloc(10 * sizeof(char));
	assert(NULL != pchar);
	pchar[10] = 55;//越界
	//free(pchar);//泄漏
	return 0;
}

3.2、shell command

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --log-file=./log.txt  ./testvalgrind

3.3、log.txt

• log.txt中7、8行提示数组越界错误；
• log.txt中18、19、20行提示内存泄漏。
