Valgrind

Valgrind is a tool used by software developers to identify and fix problems in programs, such as memory leaks and errors in how memory is used. It runs programs in a special environment that carefully monitors their memory activity, highlighting areas where the program might be misusing memory resources. This helps ensure programs run more reliably, efficiently, and securely. Think of it as a highly detailed diagnostic checker that helps programmers find hidden issues that could cause crashes or slowdowns before software reaches users.
