工欲善其事,必先利其器。Valgrind作為一個免費且優秀的工具包,平時大部分人可能都是使用valgrind檢測記憶體問題,如記憶體洩露,越界等。其實Valgrind的用途遠不止于此,其實際上為一個工具包,除了檢查記憶體問題以外,還有其它多項用途。我準備将其大緻介紹一下。本不想再介紹Valgrind檢測記憶體問題的用法的,但是又一想,畢竟這是Valgrind的一個最有名的用途,如果少了它,不免有些遺憾,是以還是把檢查記憶體問題作為第一篇吧。
請看一下代碼:
#include stdlib.h>
#include stdio.h>
#include string.h>
static void mem_leak1(void)
{
char *p = malloc(1);
}
static void mem_leak2(void)
FILE *fp = fopen("test.txt", "w");
static void mem_overrun1(void)
*(short*)p = 2;
free(p);
static void mem_overrun2(void)
char array[5];
strcpy(array, "hello");
static void mem_double_free(void)
static void mem_use_wild_pointer(void)
char *p = (void*)0x80184800;
*p = 1;
static void mem_free_wild_pointer(void)
char *p;
int main()
mem_leak1();
mem_leak2();
mem_overrun1();
mem_overrun2();
mem_double_free();
//mem_use_wild_pointer();
mem_free_wild_pointer();
return 0;
這裡一共列出了七種常見的記憶體問題:1. 動态記憶體洩露;2. 資源洩露,這裡以檔案描述符為例;3. 動态記憶體越界;4.數組記憶體越界;5.動态記憶體double free;6.使用野指針,即未初始化的指針;7.釋放野指針,即未初始化的指針;其中由于本示例代碼過于簡單,第6中情況,使用野指針會直接導緻crash,是以在main中,并沒有真正的調用那個示例代碼。由于valgrind隻能檢測執行到的代碼,是以在後面的報告中,不會報告第6種錯誤情況。但是,在大型的項目中,有可能使用野指針并不會導緻程式crash。另外上面的7中情況,有些情況嚴格的說,實際上可以歸為一類。
下面看怎樣執行valgrind來檢測記憶體錯誤:
valgrind --track-fds=yes --leak-check=full --undef-value-errors=yes ./a.out
上面那些option的具體含義,可以參加valgrind --help,其中有些option預設就是打開的,不過我習慣于明确的使用option,以示清晰。

這個隻是一個簡單的示例程式,即使沒有Valgrind,我們也可以很輕易的發現問題。但是在真實的項目中,當代碼量達到萬行,十萬行,甚至百萬行時。由于申請的記憶體可能不是在一個地方使用,不可避免的被傳來傳去。這時,如果光是看review代碼來檢查問題,可能很難找到根本原因。這時,使用Valgrind則可以很容易的發現問題所在。
當然,Valgrind也不是萬能的。我也遇到過Valgrind無法找到問題,反而我通過不斷的review代碼找到了症結。發現問題,解決問題,畢竟是末流。最好的方法,就是不引入記憶體問題。這可以通過良好的代碼風格和設計來實作的。
寫代碼不是那麼容易的。要用心,把代碼當作自己的作品,真心的去寫好它。這樣,自然而然的就會把代碼寫好。
