cppcheck 1.28 (Default branch)
cppcheck is a static C/C++ code analyzer thatchecks for memory leaks, mismatchingallocation-deallocation, buffer overrun, and manymore problems. Its goal is to produce no falsepositives.License: GNU General Public License v3Changes:
Extra include directories can be specified with-I. XML output can be obtained through the--xml-results option. The program returns 0 onlyif no errors found (else EXIT_FAILURE). The .C and.c++ suffixes are now allowed. New checks wereadded against using overlapping data in input andoutput with sprintf, usage of a freed pointer,freeing a pointer that has already been freed, anddangerous use of mktemp. Some checks were removedsince many compilers handle them well: unusedvariables, unreachable code, and assignments inconditional expressions. Preprocessor macros arehandled.Image

ovs-parse-leaks

ovs-parse-leaks(8)						Open vSwitch Manual						ovs-parse-leaks(8)

NAME

       ovs-parse-leaks - parses OVS leak checker log files

SYNOPSIS

       ovs-parse-leaks [binary] < log

DESCRIPTION

       Many  Open  vSwitch  daemons  accept a --check-leaks option that writes information about memory allocation and deallocation to a log file.
       ovs-parse-leaks parses log files produced by this option and prints a summary of the results.  The most interesting part of the output is a
       list of memory blocks that were allocated but not freed, which Open vSwitch developers can use to find and fix memory leaks.

       The  log  file must be supplied on standard input.  The binary that produced the output should be supplied as the sole non-option argument.
       For best results, the binary should have debug symbols.

OPTIONS

       --help Prints a usage message and exits.

BUGS

       The output can be hard to interpret, especially for a daemon that does not exit in normal operation.  Using  ovs-appctl(8)  to  invoke  the
       exit command that some Open vSwitch daemons support sometimes helps with this.

       ovs-parse-leaks	usually  incorrectly  reports one or more ``bad frees of not-allocated address'' errors at the beginning of output.  These
       reflect frees of data that were allocated before the leak checker was turned on during program initialization.
