Valgrind equvalent
Hey developers:
I'm no developer myself, I'm actually a scientist. For this reason, I find myself having to write up my algorithms in C or C++ in order to enhance its performance (time wise). I'm a linux convert, using most of the standard linux developer programs for my CLI program (gcc, gdb, ddd, valgrind).
A lot of this software is available on OS X (natively or ported), which is why I switched to this environment for my laptop. Yet, I'm wondering if there is any equivalent to Valgrind that you guys use. Here is a quote about what this sofware is for:
Valgrind is an award-winning suite of tools for debugging and profiling Linux programs. With the tools that come with Valgrind, you can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, avoiding hours of frustrating bug-hunting, making your programs more stable. You can also perform detailed profiling, to speed up and reduce memory use of your programs.
It has saved my life many times with trying to track down any memory leaks, etc. What do you guys use for this when writing up programs in C or C++? Any advice would be appreciated, because I seem to be the only OS X user in my little circle of geeks.
