C valgrind

valgrind is a program to inspect your compiled program. Sometimes, even when your code compiles, it doesn't always work.

Basic Usage

make myfile.c -o main		## compile your program (that contains errors)
valgrind main					## run compiled 'main' program, and check for errors.

Valgrind reports errors as they are discovered, followed by a stacktrace. The format of valgrind is:

==15102== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==15102==    at 0x50A26C7: vfprintf (in /usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
==15102==    by 0x50A9C78: printf (in /usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
==15102==    by 0x400593: main (main.c:25)								## func (srcfile:line)
