valgrind

When developing software, particularly in C and C++, one common challenge that emerges regardless of your level of expertise is managing memory effectively. Memory leaks, improper memory deallocation, and the use of uninitialized memory are issues that can cause applications to behave unpredictably or even fail. Fortunately, on Linux, there's a potent tool to help you tackle these challenges: Valgrind. Valgrind is an instrumentation framework dedicated to building dynamic analysis tools. Among its various tools, the most widely used is Memcheck, a memory error detector that can detect issues like memory leaks, incorrect memory management and uses of uninitialized memory.
