Linux下利用Valgrind工具进行内存泄露检测和性能分析_图文

1、Linux下利用Valgrind工具进行内存泄露检测和性能分析日期：2012-06-25 来源：Linux社区 作者：yanghao23 Valgrind通常用来成分析程序性能及程序中的内存泄露错误一 Valgrind工具集简绍Valgrind包含下列工具：1、memcheck：检查程序中的内存问题，如泄漏、越界、非法指针等。2、callgrind：检测程序代码的运行时间和调用过程，以及分析程序性能。3、cachegrind：分析CPU的cache命中率、丢失率，用于进行代码优化。4、helgrind：用于检查多线程程序的竞态条件。5、massif：堆栈分析器，指示程序中使用了多少堆内存等信息

3、e匹配；7、memcpy(相关函数中的dst和src指针重叠。这些问题往往是C/C+程序员最头疼的问题，Memcheck能在这里帮上大忙。例如：#include #include #include void test( int *ptr = malloc(sizeof(int*10; ptr10 = 7; / 内存越界 memcpy(ptr +1, ptr, 5; / 踩内存 free(ptr; free(ptr;/ 重复释放 int *p1; *p1 = 1; / 非法指针 int main(void test(; return 0; 将程序编译生成可执行文件后执行：valgrind -le

12、grind的检测输出结果看，这几个错误都找了出来。和gprof类似的分析工具，但它对程序的运行观察更是入微，能给我们提供更多的信息。和gprof不同，它不需要在编译源代码时附加特殊选项，但加上调试选项是推荐的。Callgrind收集程序运行时的一些数据，建立函数调用关系图，还可以有选择地进行cache模拟。在运行结束时，它会把分析数据写入一个文件。callgrind_annotate可以把这个文件的内容转化成可读的形式。这是个python脚本，把它下载之后修改其权限chmod +7 gprof2dot.py ，并把这个脚本添加到$PATH路径中的任一文件夹下，我是将它放到了/usr/bin目录

13、下，这样就可以直接在终端下执行了。Callgrind可以生成程序性能分析的图形，首先来说说程序性能分析的工具吧，通常可以使用gnu自带的gprof，它的使用方法是：在编译程序时添加-pg参数，例如：#include #include void test( sleep(1; void f( int i; for( i = 0; i 5; i + test(; int main( f(; printf(process is over!n; return 0; 首先执行，然后运行该程序./tmp，程序运行完成后会在当前目录下生成文件（这个文件gprof在分析程序时需要），再执行，打开结果： 显示te

14、st被调用了5次，程序中耗时所占百分比最多的是test函数。再来看 Callgrind的生成调用图过程吧，执行：valgrind -tool=callgrind ./tmp，执行完成后在目录下生成callgrind.out.XXX的文件这是分析文件，可以直接利用：callgrind_annotate callgrind.out.XXX 打印结果，也可以使用：gprof2dot.py -f callgrind callgrind.out.XXX |dot -Tpng -o report.png 来生成图形化结果:它生成的结果非常详细，甚至连函数入口，及库函数调用都标识出来了。Cache分析器，它

15、模拟CPU中的一级缓存I1，Dl和二级缓存，能够精确地指出程序中cache的丢失和命中。如果需要，它还能够为我们提供cache丢失次数，内存引用次数，以及每行代码，每个函数，每个模块，整个程序产生的指令数。这对优化程序有很大的帮助。作一下广告：valgrind自身利用该工具在过去几个月内使性能提高了25%-30%。据早先报道，kde的开发team也对valgrind在提高kde性能方面的帮助表示感谢。它的使用方法也是：valgrind -tool=cachegrind 程序名，它主要用来检查多线程程序中出现的竞争问题。Helgrind寻找内存中被多个线程访问，而又没有一贯加锁的区域，这些区域往

16、往是线程之间失去同步的地方，而且会导致难以发掘的错误。Helgrind实现了名为“Eraser”的竞争检测算法，并做了进一步改进，减少了报告错误的次数。不过，Helgrind仍然处于实验阶段。首先举一个竞态的例子吧：#include #include #define NLOOP 50 int counter = 0; /* incremented by threads */ void *threadfn(void *; int main(int argc, char *argv pthread_t tid1, tid2,tid3; pthread_create(&tid1, NULL, &th

17、readfn, NULL; pthread_create(&tid2, NULL, &threadfn, NULL; pthread_create(&tid3, NULL, &threadfn, NULL; /* wait for both threads to terminate */ pthread_join(tid1, NULL; pthread_join(tid2, NULL; pthread_join(tid3, NULL; return 0; void *threadfn(void *vptr int i, val; for (i = 0; i NLOOP; i+ val = co

18、unter; printf(%x: %d n, (unsigned intpthread_self(, val+1; counter = val+1; return NULL; 这段程序的竞态在3032行，我们想要的效果是3个线程分别对全局变量累加50次，最后全局变量的值为150，由于这里没有加锁，很明显竞态使得程序不能达到我们的目标。我们来看Helgrind是如何帮我们检测到竞态的。先编译程序：gcc -o test thread.c -lpthread ，然后执行:valgrind -tool=helgrind ./test 输出结果如下: 49c0b70: 1 49c0b70: 2 =4
