VALGRIND-Query

inramana · 11-04-2008, 03:26 PM

I need a tool by which I can look/ display all the memory accesses in a program in order to resolve race conditions. I have started using valgrind but cannot find an option where this could be done..
Could anyone help me out?

Hello !

Did you try the following command ?

Code:

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes progrm_name

The following text is from this page !

The memcheck tool that we used also shows bad memory access. It reports situations when: you read uninitialized memory, read past the buffers, access freed memory etc. All with nice stack traces. This is really the primary use of Valgrind for me.

Did you read the question? That would check for memory leaks and use of uninitialised memory, not race conditions.

What is required is:

Code:

valgrind --tool=helgrind program_name

See the manual: http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/hg-manual.html
