Introduction to the Valgrind Debugger/Profiler

Pierre Aubert

Prerequisites

Compiler

We are going to use the GCC-7 compiler (you can possibly use an old compiler for this tutorial but I don't have one). If you are stucked with an other compiler or with an older version of GCC you can install it with Anaconda (in your tutorial environement) :
conda install gcc7

Debugger

We wille use gdb (>= 7.11.1) to debug our programs.

Compilation tools

We will use CMake and Make to compile our programs.

The correction of the whole tutorial is available here.
