A brief look at the changes needed to allow Valgrind Memcheck to produce correct diagnostics for memory issues in conjunction with x86-64-v3 instructions.

The realloc function in C is useful for memory management, but there are a few tricky cases to watch out for. See how Valgrind Memcheck helps find these issues.

Valgrind can be used to track file descriptors. Learn how to find file descriptors at various stages of your program and where they were originally opened.

Many C/C++ programs create their own memory allocators. Valgrind provides special macros for using Memcheck to debug memory under these conditions.

Find out how Valgrind Memcheck detects memory leaks in your C or C++ programs, and how to integrate Valgrind into your test suites for early detection.
