1。valgrind是一个内存检测工具,类似的还有purify,insure++等
2。测试文件test.c
test.c :
main(){
int* a=new int[100];
return 0;
}
第一步:gcc -o test test.c
第二步: valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes ./test
结果:

分析:
上面的==3053==,3053代表test的进程号
从上面可看到 ,by 0x8048528:main(temp.cc:41)第41行用operator new分配了400字节内存但是没有释放,最后总结此进程泄露内存400字节
3.将内存检测工具与gdb一起使用
命令: valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --db-attach=yes ./test
--db-attach默认调试器是GDB,可以使用--db-attach=<command>指定
