  • Use the (default) Memcheck tool to show a diagnostic of memory usage by `program`:
    valgrind program
  • Use Memcheck to report all possible memory leaks of `program` in full detail:
    valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all program
  • Use the Cachegrind tool to profile and log CPU cache operations of `program`:
    valgrind --tool=cachegrind program
  • Use the Massif tool to profile and log heap memory and stack usage of `program`:
    valgrind --tool=massif --stacks=yes program
