Valgrind () is a programming tool for memory debugging, memory leak detection, and profiling.
Valgrind was originally designed to be a freely licensed memory debugging tool for Linux on x86, but has since evolved to become a generic framework for creating dynamic analysis tools such as checkers and profilers.
