[Valgrind-developers] Freya tool for Valgrind

[Zoltan H. <zhe...@in...>]

Hi,

we have a memory analyzer tool for valgrind called Freya. The aim of the
tool is to provide component based information about the memory
consumption (i.e. not how much memory used by Vector/HashMap utility
classes, but how much memory is used by various components of an
application, e.g. JavaScript, CSS parsing, HTML parsing of a web browser).
Although Freya provide much better information than other tools, using it
is more difficult as well, since you need to write a good rule description
file (Obviously only you know what is meaningful for you).

We created it in 2009, and we still use it. We like open-source and don't
mind if others use it. Please feel free to add the tool to valgrind if you
like it.

The latest code is available here:
