c++ - Valgrind on codeblocks (linux)

Question

I already use the Valgrind in small programs to check memorys leaks and its work good.

Now i have a big program with many class and .cpp and .h files and i'm trying to use Valgrind to check the memory leak because i use a lot of pointers, memory, etc.

I'm using linux and codeblocks 16.01 with gcc and i trying to run the Valgrind directly in codeblocks but i'm getting the follow error:

 --------------- Application output --------------
valgrind: /myPathToTheProject/ValgrindOut.xml: No such file or directory

If i test with a small project with only a .cpp file and main it works good and the Valgrind generate the ValgrindOut.xml. In this big project i always getting this error. Someone have some idea what is wrong? or other way or tool to test memory leak?

EDIT - LEAK SUMMARY after running Valgrind

Leak summary:

definitely lost: 673 bytes in 6 blocks.
   indirectly lost: 89,128 bytes in 68 blocks.
     possibly lost: 232 bytes in 2 blocks.
   still reachable: 80,944 bytes in 6 blocks.
        suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.

Answer 1

I am not sure how to run valgrind directly from codeblocks. I suggest you build your project using codeblocks. While executing, use valgrind as per below command.

Command

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --log-file=leak.txt ./myexecutable <my command line arguments>

Example

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --log-file=leak.txt ./myexecutable -i 192.168.1.10 -p 5000

This way you can generate valgrind output file, that is leak.txt that contains memory leaks etc.
