Valgrind Insights

What is Valgrind?

Valgrind is a programming tool for memory debugging, memory leak detection, and profiling. It is commonly used to automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, helping to make programs more stable. It can also profile code to identify performance bottlenecks.
