  • Memory Diagrams and Memory Debugging
    CSCI-1200 Data Structures | Spring 2020 Lab 4 | Memory Diagrams and Memory Debugging Checkpoint 1 (focusing on Memory Diagrams) will be available at the start of Wednesday's lab. Checkpoints 2 and 3 focus on using a memory debugger. It is highly recommended that you thoroughly read the instructions for Checkpoint 2 and Checkpoint 3 before starting. Memory debuggers will be a useful tool in many of the assignments this semester, and in C++ development if you work with the language outside of this course. While a traditional debugger lets you step through your code and examine variables, a memory debugger instead reports memory-related errors during execution and can help find memory leaks after your program has terminated. The next time you see a \segmentation fault", or it works on your machine but not on Submitty, try running a memory debugger! Please download the following 4 files needed for this lab: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/academics/courses/spring20/csci1200/labs/04_memory_debugging/buggy_lab4. cpp http://www.cs.rpi.edu/academics/courses/spring20/csci1200/labs/04_memory_debugging/first.txt http://www.cs.rpi.edu/academics/courses/spring20/csci1200/labs/04_memory_debugging/middle. txt http://www.cs.rpi.edu/academics/courses/spring20/csci1200/labs/04_memory_debugging/last.txt Checkpoint 2 estimate: 20-40 minutes For Checkpoint 2 of this lab, we will revisit the final checkpoint of the first lab of this course; only this time, we will heavily rely on dynamic memory to find the average and smallest number for a set of data from an input file. You will use a memory debugging tool such as DrMemory or Valgrind to fix memory errors and leaks in buggy lab4.cpp.

  • Automatic Detection of Uninitialized Variables
    Automatic Detection of Uninitialized Variables Thi Viet Nga Nguyen, Fran¸cois Irigoin, Corinne Ancourt, and Fabien Coelho Ecole des Mines de Paris, 77305 Fontainebleau, France {nguyen,irigoin,ancourt,coelho}@cri.ensmp.fr Abstract. One of the most common programming errors is the use of a variable before its definition. This undefined value may produce incorrect results, memory violations, unpredictable behaviors and program failure. To detect this kind of error, two approaches can be used: compile-time analysis and run-time checking. However, compile-time analysis is far from perfect because of complicated data and control flows as well as arrays with non-linear, indirection subscripts, etc. On the other hand, dynamic checking, although supported by hardware and compiler tech- niques, is costly due to heavy code instrumentation while information available at compile-time is not taken into account. This paper presents a combination of an efficient compile-time analysis and a source code instrumentation for run-time checking. All kinds of variables are checked by PIPS, a Fortran research compiler for program analyses, transformation, parallelization and verification. Uninitialized array elements are detected by using imported array region, an efficient inter-procedural array data flow analysis. If exact array regions cannot be computed and compile-time information is not sufficient, array elements are initialized to a special value and their utilization is accompanied by a value test to assert the legality of the access. In comparison to the dynamic instrumentation, our method greatly reduces the number of variables to be initialized and to be checked. Code instrumentation is only needed for some array sections, not for the whole array.

  • Heapviz: Interactive Heap Visualization for Program Understanding and Debugging
    Heapviz: Interactive Heap Visualization for Program Understanding and Debugging 1 Abstract Understanding the data structures in a program is crucial to understanding how the program works, or why it doesn’t work. Inspecting the code that implements the data structures, however, is an arduous task and often fails to yield insights into the global organization of a program’s data. Inspecting the actual contents of the heap solves these problems but presents a significant challenge of its own: finding an effective way to present the enormous number of objects it contains. In this paper we present Heapviz, a tool for visualizing and exploring snapshots of the heap obtained from a running Java program. Unlike existing tools, such as tra- ditional debuggers, Heapviz presents a global view of the program state as a graph, together with powerful interactive capabilities for navigating it. Our tool employs sev- eral key techniques that help manage the scale of the data. First, we reduce the size and complexity of the graph by using algorithms inspired by static shape analysis to aggregate the nodes that make up a data structure. Second, we implement a power- ful visualization component whose interactive interface provides extensive support for exploring the graph. The user can search for objects based on type, connectivity, and field values; group objects; and color or hide and show each group. The user may also inspect individual objects to see their field values and neighbors in the graph. These interactive abilities help the user manage the complexity of these huge graphs. By applying Heapviz to both constructed and real-world examples, we show that Heapviz provides programmers with a powerful and intuitive tool for exploring program behavior.

ABSTRACT: The TotalView Source Code Debugger gives scientists and engineers a way to debug memory problems on the Cray XT series supercomputer. Memory problems such as memory leaks, array bounds violations, and dangling pointers are difficult to track down with conventional tools on even a simple desktop architecture – they can be much more vexing when encountered on a distributed parallel architecture like that of the XT. KEYWORDS: Programming Environment Tools, Debuggers, Memory Debuggers, Cray XT Series 1. Introduction 2.

  • Detecting Memory Related Errors Using a Valgrind Tool Suite and Detecting Data Races Using Thread Sanitizer Clang
    Volume 6, No. 2, March-April 2015 International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science RESEARCH PAPER Available Online at www.ijarcs.info Detecting Memory Related Errors using a Valgrind Tool Suite and Detecting Data Races using Thread Sanitizer Clang Saroj. A.Shambharkar Kavikulguru Institute of Technology and Science Nagpur, India Abstract: It is important for a programmer to detect data races when a programming is done under concurrent systems or using shared memory or parallel programming. Many researchers are implementing their applications using the parallel programming and even for simple c programs ,they are not much concentrating on memory issues,accuracy of a result obtained, speed. It is important and one must take care it. There may found data races in their application code which has to be resolve and for that some data race detectors are required. There is also a need of detecting the memory related problems that may occur with shared memory. As a result of such memory related bugs and data races, the system may slow down the speed of the execution of a program .To improve the speed,the valgrind tool suite is used for memory related problems and ThreadSanitizer is used for detecting data races and some authors used Intel Thread Checker,ADAT,on-the-fly techniques for detecting them. Some tools are reducing the false positives but removing all false positives. Valgrind is providing a number of debugging and profiling tools that helps in improving the accuracy and to enhance the performance of system. This paper is demonstrating and showing the different results obtained by using the mentioned tool suite.
