Documentation

• Using valgrind to detect and prevent application memory problems

Usage

Compile software for debugging with gdb, put in BuildFile:

<flags CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3 -fno-inline">

Now recompile. This way valgrind will put numbers of line in his output. You can run valgrind using:

• valgrind --leak-check=full cmsRun -p mycfg
• valgrind --tool=memcheck cmsRun -p mycfg
