Title: Valgrind
Post by: Satyajit on December 02, 2016, 11:06:22 am

I am using Code::Blocks 13.12 on my linux ubuntu machine. I also installed valgrind using terminal. When I open a program on codeblock it also gives me some options to use valgrind also. Options are-

   (i) Run MemCheck
  (ii) Open MemCheck Xml log file
 (iii) Run Cachegrind

  But nothing is happening using those options. So finally question is how to use those options?

Is there any output in the Valgrind-tab in "Logs and others" ?

When I click on "Run MemCheck" Valgrind tab in "logs & others" shows



valgrind--version
valgrind-3.10.1
setting dynamic linker path to: .:
Executing command:valgrind--leak-check=full--track-origins=yes--xml=yes--xml-file=/home/..../.../.../code_name/valgrindOut.xml "/home/.../.../.../code_name/bin/Debug/code_name"

---------- Application output -----------

Isn't it obvious that you have to install valgrind if the command is not found?

The previous post shows, that valgrind returns a version-number, so it seems to run.

It looks like it calls c++, which does not exist or is not in the path.
I don't see this behaviour on linux, even if I remove my c++-compiler, so this is only a guess.

Satyajit: does valgrind work from command line?

@Satyajit:
Does the program run without valgrind ?

oBFusCATed: Using XTerm first I go to my code file directory then I run valgrind by the command

                    valgrind ./code_name.cbp

and output is

                    valgrind: ./code_name.cbp: Permission denied

jens: Program is running but at last stage of data printing it shows error sometimes like this,

 free():invalid next size(normal): 0*000000....
 Aborted (core dumped)

or sometimes like this,

 double free or corruption(!prev):0*00000....
 Aborted (core dumped)


etc.


And that is why want to use valgrind to debug those problems. :)

you should run valgrind on your executable(the program you build), not on a codeblocks project file.

killerbot: Thanks  :)

   But still question remains, how to use valgrind from code::blocks solely without using terminal?

does it work without codeblocks?
