About:
Memcheck provides the ability to fault on pointer
overrun (read or write) or freed pointer
deference (read or write), logs double free and
realloc of already freed pointers and memory not
freed on exit, checks for pointer underrun on free
and realloc, optionally reverses the behavior of
overrun and underrun, "churns" reallocations to
always return a different pointer, and logs
pointer overruns instead of faulting. It has a
very small performance impact, with the tradeoff
of a large memory footprint. It includes a
validation test suite to verify correctness of the
library. It is tested on a variety of
architectures, including Alpha, ARM, HPPA, PPC,
ix86, IA64, rs6000, S390, SPARC, and SPARC64. It is tested on a variety of platforms, including OSF, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, HP/UX, Mac OSX, AIX, SCO, and Solaris.
