[Haifux] [HAIFUX LECTURE] Valgrind - from magic to science - Shachar Raindel

[Nir Abulaffio]

Hello,
Normally, I would not write this, but, since lately the have been lectures
with very few listeners, I inform that I cannot attend due to the fact
that it is the eve of 9 of Av. (This includes my brother, so count -2).

If, by any chance, the lecture is postponed, I would be able to attend
if it is after 13-aug-2010.

Thank you in any case.
Nir.

Valgrind - from magic to science

Valgrind is an extremely powerful development tool, which detects and
pin-points many common programming errors when running a program. Some
examples for the problems it handles are many kinds of buffer
overflows, using uninitialized data, accessing freed memory and memory
leaks. Valgrind does that without need for recompilation of the
program, simply by adding "valgrind" to the beginning of the command
line.

To an outside observer, this could seem like magic. In this lecture,
we will take a peek under the hood of valgrind, and learn how the
magic is done. I will also briefly introduce other, less known
features of valgrind.
