linux 下使用valgrind工具进行内存泄露检测

一 valgrind工具集介绍

valgrind包含下列工具：

    1、memcheck：检查程序中的内存问题，如泄漏、越界、非法指针等。

    2、callgrind：检测程序代码的运行时间和调用过程，以及分析程序性能。

    3、cachegrind：分析CPU的cache命中率、丢失率，用于进行代码优化。

    4、helgrind：用于检查多线程程序的竞态条件。

    5、massif：堆栈分析器，指示程序中使用了多少堆内存等信息。

这几个工具的使用是通过命令：valgrand --tool=name 程序名来分别调用的，当不指定tool参数时默认是 --tool=memcheck

二 valgrind常用工具Memcheck详解

    用来检测程序中出现的内存问题，所有对内存的读写都会被检测到，一切对malloc、free、new、delete的调用都会被捕获。所以，它能检测以下问题：

       1、对未初始化内存的使用；

       2、读/写释放后的内存块；

       3、读/写超出malloc分配的内存块；

       4、读/写不适当的栈中内存块；

       5、内存泄漏，指向一块内存的指针永远丢失；

       6、不正确的malloc/free或new/delete匹配；

       7、memcpy()相关函数中的dst和src指针重叠。

这些问题往往是C/C++程序员最头疼的问题。
例如：

#include <stdlib.h>  
#include <malloc.h>  
#include <string.h>  
  
void test()  
{  
    int *ptr = malloc(sizeof(int)*10);  
  
    ptr[10] = 7; // 内存越界  
  
    memcpy(ptr +1, ptr, 5); // 踩内存  
  
  
    free(ptr);   
    free(ptr);// 重复释放  
  
    int *p1;  
    *p1 = 1; // 非法指针  
}  
  
int main(void)  
{  
    test();  
    return 0;  
}  
将程序编译生成可执行文件后执行：valgrind --leak-check=full ./程序名
输出结果如下：

从valgrind的检测输出结果看，这几个错误都找了出来。
