Valgrind 的下载安装和使用 (centos7.6， 其他linux应该类同)

一、为什么需要Valgrind？

调试各种各样的崩溃问题，内存泄露问题，内存二次释放问题（double free），core dump，

Valgrind 是个开源的工具，功能很多。例如检查内存泄漏工具---memcheck。

二、Valgrind的下载和安装

1. 下载  (版本根据你当时的最新版本。官网： http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/)

wget https://sourceware.org/pub/valgrind/valgrind-3.15.0.tar.bz2

2. 解压

tar xjvf valgrind-3.15.0.tar.bz2

3. 安装

yum install autoconf
yum install automake
cd valgrind-3.15.0
chmod 775 autogen.sh
./autogen.sh
#如果提示aclocal相关信息，则需要 yum install autoconf automake
./configure
make
make install

查看是否安装成功，使用脚本

valgrind --version

Valgrind使用方法：

1. C++代码，测试用例

//hello.cpp
#include
#include

using namespace std;

int main()
{

    char *p = (char*)malloc(10);
    free(p);
    free(p);
    return 0;
}

2. 编译和链接

-g选项要添加,生成a.out

g++ hello.cpp -g

3. 运行和调试

valgrind --log-file=output.txt --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=yes ./a.out

4. 输出日志

其中--log-file 是输出日志到文件。去掉这个选项可以在终端显示上面观看

上面的结果可以看到1次申请内存，两次释放内存。提示报错了。
