We're trying to track down a problem in a java application, and were hoping to use valgrind to do it. It seemed to start fine, but when we did a graceful termination of the application, the post-execution valgrind summary wasn't output. I poked around in the FAQ and generally around http://www.valgrind.org but didn't see any reference to suggest valgrind supports evaluation of java applications. Can anyone comment? If this won't work for us, is there a better tool you can recommend? Thanks for your help. I'm hoping we can use valgrind, because so far it looks like exactly the kind of thing we need.

Valgrind works with fine with Java in principle (in fact with any program) but various JVMs have caused problems in the past because they often do nasty and/or unusual things. But that usually causes crashes. > Can anyone comment? Are you using --trace-children=yes? > If this won't work for us, is there a better tool you can recommend? You haven't explained what is the problem you are trying track down. Nick |
