| <b>Valgrind</b> is an instrumentation framework for building dynamic analysis tools that can be used to profile applications in detail. Valgrind tools are generally used to automatically detect many memory management and threading problems. The Valgrind suite also includes tools that allow you to build new profiling tools to suit your needs. |
| </p> |
| <p>The Valgrind plug-in for Eclipse (documented herein) integrates several Valgrind tools into Eclipse. This allows Eclipse users to seamlessly include profiling capabilities into their workflow. At present, the Valgrind plug-in for Eclipse supports four Valgrind tools: |
