Valgrind is a GPL\'d tool to help you find
memory-management problems in your programs. When a
program is run under Valgrind\'s supervision, all reads
and writes of memory are checked, and calls to
malloc/new/free/delete are intercepted. As a result,
Valgrind can detect problems such as:

* Use of uninitialised memory
* Reading/writing memory after it has been free\'d
* Reading/writing off the end of malloc\'d blocks
* Reading/writing inappropriate areas on the stack
* Memory leaks -- where pointers to malloc\'d blocks are
lost forever
* Passing of uninitialised and/or unaddressible memory
to system calls
* Mismatched use of malloc/new/new [] vs
free/delete/delete []
* Some misuses of the POSIX pthreads API
