C ++ memory analysis

What are some of the good tools for analyzing memory (for tracking, distribution, and freeing)? I am familiar with valgrind. If there are tools other than this, it would be nice to know about them.

Best.

IBM has Rational Purify for Windows and Linux. I have not used it since it is quite expensive, but there is a free trial version.

If you are talking about valgrind, I suggest that you are interested in Linux software.

With MTrace, you can easily create your own report for posting and freeing up space. It is not directly C ++, but directly integrated into GlibC. As far as I know, new C ++ operators and operators use this to allocate memory before calling the constructor and freeing memory after calling the destructor.

The good thing about mcheck is that you automatically get it whenever you use glibc. Set the MALLOC_CHECK_ environment variable to 1, and the diagnostics will be printed to stderr every time a heap inconsistency is detected; if set to 2, the abort () function is called immediately.

The mcheck documentation is here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Heap-Consistency-Checking.html

You can also use mtrace to track malloc in infinite details:
