Hi, I've written a new skin for Valgrind. It's called Massif, and does detailed space (memory) profiling. AFAIK, it is, astonishingly enough, the first decent tool anyone has made for profiling C and C++ programs -- I'm not aware of any others that give anything like as much information as Massif does. (If you know of any, I'd like to hear about them.) You can download a Valgrind bundle containing it from www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~njn25/valgrind.html. This is the first release, and although I've tested it reasonably thoroughly (it runs OpenOffice and Phoenix ok), don't expect too much. I would strongly suggest you read the docs before using it; they're not very long, they're available in the main documentation in the bundle (section 7), and also standalone on the above webpage. I'd love to hear feedback from anyone who tries it -- if you think it's useful, if you have any suggestions on how to improve it, if you find any bugs, or anything else. Thanks. N |
