Ubuntu下安装Valgrind很简单，直接从ubuntu软件中心下载安装，并且还会提供一个简单的图形界面。。当然，你也可以在命令行中使用。
Valgrind实际上是一个工具集，包含多个调试工具，如常用的memcheck，当程序日渐庞大时，内存泄漏是个很头疼的问题，可以使用如下命令，来检测：
valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes ./main
其中./main是需要检测的程序。当程序运行结束或中止时，会打印出内存信息。
这是本人运行程序过程中强制终止的信息：

在最后会给出统计信息，32个内存错误，看样子，我有的忙了，不过幸好这个工具给出了具体出错的位置，不用花几天的功夫去检测！！！
以下是从网上摘录的
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
用法: valgrind [options] prog-and-args [options]: 常用选项，适用于所有Valgrind 工具
-tool=<name> 最常用的选项。运行 valgrind 中名为toolname的工具。默认memcheck。
h –help 显示帮助信息。
-version 显示valgrind 内核的版本，每个工具都有各自的版本。
q –quiet 安静地运行，只打印错误信息。
v –verbose 更详细的信息, 增加错误数统计。
-trace-children=no|yes 跟踪子线程? [no]
-track-fds=no|yes 跟踪打开的文件描述？[no]
-time-stamp=no|yes 增加时间戳到LOG信息? [no]
-log-fd=<number> 输出LOG到描述符文件 [2=stderr]
-log-file=<file> 将输出的信息写入到filename.PID的文件里，PID是运行程序的进行ID
-log-file-exactly=<file> 输出LOG信息到 file
-log-file-qualifier=<VAR> 取得环境变量的值来做为输出信息的文件名。 [none]
-log-socket=ipaddr:port 输出LOG到socket ，ipaddr:port
LOG信息输出
-xml=yes 将信息以xml格式输出，只有memcheck可用
-num-callers=<number> show <number> callers in stack traces [12]
-error-limit=no|yes 如果太多错误，则停止显示新错误? [yes]
-error-exitcode=<number> 如果发现错误则返回错误代码 [0=disable]
-db-attach=no|yes 当出现错误，valgrind 会自动启动调试器gdb。[no]
-db-command=<command> 启动调试器的命令行选项[gdb -nw %f %p]
适用于Memcheck工具的相关选项：
-leak-check=no|summary|full 要求对leak给出详细信息? [summary]
-leak-resolution=low|med|high how much bt merging in leak check [low]
