Valgrind 是在linux系統下開發應用程序時用于調試內存問題的工具。它尤其擅長發現內存管理的問題，它可以檢查程序運行時的內存泄漏問題。
它的官方網址是 http://www.valgrind.org/
下載最新版本的Valgrind，目前是3.2.0。 wget http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/valkyrie-1.2.0.tar.bz2
執行常規的安裝步驟：./confgure && make && make install。注意： 系統必須安裝QT的開發包。即便這樣在make 時還是出現qplatformdefs.h這個文件找不到的情況，導致make失敗。查找系統中的qplatformdefs.h 之后，發現沒有存在于qt的標準頭文件目錄/usr/lib/qt-3.3/include。如是將/usr/lib/qt-3.3/mkspecs/linux-g++/ 目錄下該頭文件復制標準頭文件目錄，重新make ，后面一切OK。
初次使用
編譯如下代碼: gcc -Wall example.c -g -o example
#include <stdlib.h>
void f(void)
{
int* x = malloc(10 * sizeof(int));
x[10] = 0; // problem 1: heap block overrun
} // problem 2: memory leak -- x not freed
int main(void)
{
f();
return 0;
}

注意：gcc 的-g 選項讓Valgrind調試輸出時指出相應信息的代碼所在的行號。

上面的C程序存在兩個錯誤：1. 數組下標越界；2. 分配的內存沒有釋放，存在內存泄露的問題。對于錯誤1，看Valgrind的調試信息片斷

對于錯誤2，看這個
