Need a tool to detect memory leaks in C code
c, debugging, memory-leaks, memory-management
Solution
Depending on the platform (you don't mention it) Valgrind is fantastic on Linux systems. It has no GUI, but doesn't need one.
Just run `valgrind <path to your application + arguments>` and it will run your application and spit out any errors during memory operations.
Add the `--leak-check=full` and `--show-reachable=yes` options after `valgrind` to get stack-traces of where your memory leaks originate.
Problem
Is there a good application (that has some kind of gui) for testing memory leaks in c code. I would really like to test my assignment/programme but being very new to this, i struggle with using the terminal to do things, especially using gdb for debugging (to me it feels like a blast from the past, where i could be using some visual debugger). Thanks for the help edit: platform doesn't matter - i am running everything ;)
