Using Valgrind to check memory How to use Valgrind -To valgrind the program, run the valgrind command and give it our program name as an argument. -For example, if we want to run ./myProgram hello 42, we can simply run Valgrind ./myProgram hello 42. Uninitialized Values -When we run the program, we may use uninitialized values. It needs to be fixed. Valgrind can tell us about the use of uninitialized values. But it only tell when the control flow of the program depends on the unitialized value. For example, uninitialized value appears in the conditional expression of an if, or a loop, or in the switch statement. -If we want to know where the uninitialized value is from, we can use Valgrind --track-origins=yes ./myProgram -Using -fsanitize=address can find a lot of problems that Memcheck cannot. -We can use Valgrind with GDB to debug. We can run: --vgdb=full --vgdb-error=0., then Valgrind will stop on the first error that it encounters and give control to ...
