valgrind检测内存泄露

简介:
valgrind检测内存泄露工具。功能非常强大，具体详见http://www.valgrind.org/。
这里只介绍内存检测部分。

参考实例：

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cn/linux/l-cn-valgrind/

安装：
    ① 下载
         http://www.valgrind.org/
     ② 安装
         tar jxvf valgrind-3.8.1.tar.bz2
        cd valgrind-3.8.1
        ./configure --prefix=/usr
        make
        make install

使用:
      valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full ./test
     参照:
     http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/quick-start.html

实例：
     ① 手顺
         gcc test.c -o test
         valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full ./test

② 代码

 1  //gcc test.c -o test
 2  #include <stdio.h>
 3  #include <stdlib.h>
 4  #include <string.h>
 5  int main(int argc, char **argv)
 6  {
 7    char *string;
 8    string = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char));
 9    string = (char*)malloc(sizeof(int*));
10    return 0;
11  }

③ 解析结果
