Valgrind的Memcheck快速入门

一、前言

       对于C/C++程序员来说，关于内存问题真是让人头痛不已，尤其是内存泄露、使用未初始化的局部变量进行跳转或移动等隐形问题。要求程序员养成良好的编码习惯确实很重要，但是人总会出现稀里糊涂的时候，遇到内存泄露等问题还是在所难免，好在有了众多的内存检测工具，真是帮了程序员的大忙啊。下面将介绍一款强大的Linux开源工具Valgrind，非常棒，内存检测工具中的瑞士军刀。

二、简介

        Valgrind 是一款 Linux下C/C++ 程序的内存检测工具，一个显著的特点是无需重新编译，可以直接对debug版本的程序进行分析测试。

       目前，最新的版本valgrind-3.8.1 支持X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM/Linux, PPC32/Linux, PPC64/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS/Linux, ARM/Android (2.3.x and later), X86/Android (4.0 and later), X86/Darwin and AMD64/Darwin (Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, with limited support for 10.8) 。

       相关资料：

1、http://valgrind.org/ （官网，资料全面，很详实，但全是英文，全力推荐）

2、 http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cn/linux/l-cn-valgrind/ （IBM的中文资料，很详细，全力推荐）

3、 http://blog.csdn.net/yanghao23/article/details/7514587  （网友的总结体会，写得好）

三、快速入门

1、下载与安装

上官网下载最新版本： valgrind-3.8.1，按如下步骤在解压并进行默认安装：

tar xvf valgrind-3.8.1.tar.bz2
cd valgrind-3.8.1/
./configure
make
make install

2、快速使用（对Linux系统的程序“ls”进行 检测 ）

valgrind ls /    （快速进行默认Memcheck检测）

valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes -v ls /      （进行Memcheck检测，并打印详细的结果，不过速度慢了很多，这个我用得更多）
