'''[http://valgrind.org/%|%Valgrind]''' is a framework for building tools to
[debugging%|%analyze programs].



** Description **

Valgrind works on unmodified executables (no need to recompile in a dedicated
mode).  Its oldest component, "memcheck", is key to hunting leaks, buffer
overflows, uninitialized values, etc. 

To execute valgrind:

======none
valgrind executable arguments...
======

It will produce a summary telling how dynamically allocated memory is used when exiting the process: definitely lost, indirectly lost, possibly lost, or still reachable. Additional flags can give further details.
