\title Using Valgrind Code Analysis Tools
|
|
|
|
\QC integrates \l{http://valgrind.org/info/tools.html}{Valgrind code
|
|
analysis tools} for detecting memory leaks and
|
|
profiling function execution. You must download and install them separately
|
|
to use them from \QC.
|
|
|
|
You can run the Valgrind tools either \e locally on the development host or
|
|
\e remotely on another host. You can use them to analyze both applications
|
|
for which you set up a project in \QC and applications for which you do not
|
|
have a project.
|
|
|
|
Valgrind tools are supported locally only on Linux and \macos. However,
|
|
according to Valgrind.org, support on \macos 10.8 and 10.9 is experimental and
|
|
mostly broken. You can run the tools on a remote Linux machine or device
|
|
from any development host.
|
|
|
|
To run the Valgrind tools to analyze an application for which you have a
|
|
project, open the project in \QC and select the kit to run the project. The
|
|
kit specifies whether the Valgrind tools are run locally or remotely.
|
|
|
|
For more information about analyzing applications for which you do not have
|
|
a project, see \l{Running Valgrind Tools on External Applications}.
|
|
|
|
To select options for the Valgrind tools, select \uicontrol {Tools > Options >
|
|
Analyzer}. You can override the general settings for each project in the
|
|
\uicontrol {Run Settings} for the project.
|
|
|
|
The following sections describe how to use the Valgrind tools:
