using Valgrind from CL?
Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2014 6:44 pm
Hi Eran,
I've been using Valgrind to check & profile memory - just the cmd-line tool, not any UI atop since cmd-line provides plenty information without the bloat.
So far I'm launching my target binaries manually from a console, is it possible to tweak CL's project settings to launch from within CL by adding "valgrind" to the Debugger drop-down field? (in addition to gdb). I personally don't care about chaining valgrind with GDB since it's slow enough on its own. Or is it pointless because valgrind would automatically drag in mem allocation from CL's launcher and confuse stats?
thx & cheers,
