指令

你需要的东西

熟练使用c++ c++编译器 调试器和其他调查软件工具

1

理解操作符的基础知识。c++操作符new分配堆内存。delete操作符释放堆内存。对于每一个new，你应该使用delete来释放你分配的内存:

char* str = new char [30]; // Allocate 30 bytes to house a string.

delete [] str; // Clear those 30 bytes and make str point nowhere.

2

仅在删除时重新分配内存。在下面的代码中，str通过第二次分配获得了一个新地址。第一个地址将不可挽回地丢失，它所指向的30个字节也将丢失。现在他们不可能被释放，你有一个内存泄漏:

char* str = new char [30]; // Give str a memory address.

// delete [] str; // Remove the first comment marking in this line to correct.

str = new char [60]; /* Give str another memory address with
                                                    the first one gone forever.*/

delete [] str; // This deletes the 60 bytes, not just the first 30.

3

注意那些指针的赋值。每个动态变量(在堆上分配内存)都需要与一个指针相关联。当一个动态变量与其指针分离时，它就不可能被删除。同样，这会导致内存泄漏:

char* str1 = new char [30];

char* str2 = new char [40];

strcpy(str1, "Memory leak");

str2 = str1; // Bad! Now the 40 bytes are impossible to free.

delete [] str2; // This deletes the 30 bytes.

delete [] str1; // Possible access violation. What a disaster!

4

小心使用局部指针。在函数中声明的指针分配在堆栈上，但它所指向的动态变量分配在堆上。如果你不删除它，它将在程序退出函数后继续存在:

void Leak(int x){

char* p = new char [x];

// delete [] p; // Remove the first comment marking to correct.

}

5

注意“delete”后面的方括号。使用delete本身来释放单个对象。使用带方括号的delete[]来释放堆数组。不要做这样的事情:

char* one = new char;

delete [] one; // Wrong

char* many = new char [30];

delete many; // Wrong!

6

如果泄漏还允许-我通常寻求它与deleaker(检查这里:http://deleaker.com)。

Valgrind http://valgrind.org/

and

广东发展银行 http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/

AddressSanitizer (ASan)是一种快速的内存错误检测器。 它可以发现C/ c++程序中的use-after-free和{heap,stack,global}-buffer溢出错误。它发现:

在free之后使用(悬空指针解引用) 堆缓冲区溢出 堆栈缓冲区溢出 全局缓冲区溢出 退货后使用 初始化顺序错误

这个工具很快。仪器程序的平均速度为~2倍。

Visual Leak Detector (VLD)是一个免费的、健壮的、开源的Visual c++内存泄漏检测系统。

当您在Visual Studio调试器下运行程序时，Visual Leak Detector将在调试会话结束时输出内存泄漏报告。泄漏报告包括完整的调用堆栈，显示泄漏的内存块是如何分配的。双击调用堆栈中的一行，以跳转到编辑器窗口中的该文件和该行。

如果你只有崩溃转储，你可以使用Windbg !heap -l命令，它将检测泄漏的堆块。最好打开gflags选项:“创建用户模式堆栈跟踪数据库”，然后您将看到内存分配调用堆栈。

自动内存泄漏检查器的概述

在这个回答中，我在一个简单易懂的内存泄漏示例中比较了几种不同的内存泄漏检查程序。

在做任何事情之前，请参阅ASan wiki中比较人类已知所有工具的巨大表格:https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerComparisonOfMemoryTools/d06210f759fec97066888e5f27c7e722832b0924

分析的例子如下:

c

#include <stdlib.h>

void * my_malloc(size_t n) {
    return malloc(n);
}

void leaky(size_t n, int do_leak) {
    void *p = my_malloc(n);
    if (!do_leak) {
        free(p);
    }
}

int main(void) {
    leaky(0x10, 0);
    leaky(0x10, 1);
    leaky(0x100, 0);
    leaky(0x100, 1);
    leaky(0x1000, 0);
    leaky(0x1000, 1);
}

GitHub上游。

我们将尝试看看不同的工具如何清楚地向我们指出泄漏的调用。

从gperftools通过谷歌

https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools

Ubuntu 19.04的用法:

sudo apt-get install google-perftools
gcc -ggdb3 -o main.out main.c -ltcmalloc
PPROF_PATH=/usr/bin/google-pprof \
  HEAPCHECK=normal \
  HEAPPROFILE=ble \
  ./main.out \
;
google-pprof main.out ble.0001.heap --text

程序运行的输出包含内存泄漏分析:

WARNING: Perftools heap leak checker is active -- Performance may suffer
Starting tracking the heap
Dumping heap profile to ble.0001.heap (Exiting, 4 kB in use)
Have memory regions w/o callers: might report false leaks

The 2 largest leaks:
Using local file ./main.out.
Leak of 256 bytes in 1 objects allocated from:
        @ 555bf6e5815d my_malloc
        @ 555bf6e5817a leaky
        @ 555bf6e581d3 main
        @ 7f71e88c9b6b __libc_start_main
        @ 555bf6e5808a _start
Leak of 16 bytes in 1 objects allocated from:
        @ 555bf6e5815d my_malloc
        @ 555bf6e5817a leaky
        @ 555bf6e581b5 main
        @ 7f71e88c9b6b __libc_start_main
        @ 555bf6e5808a _start


If the preceding stack traces are not enough to find the leaks, try running THIS shell command:

pprof ./main.out "/tmp/main.out.24744._main_-end.heap" --inuse_objects --lines --heapcheck  --edgefraction=1e-10 --nodefraction=1e-10 --gv

If you are still puzzled about why the leaks are there, try rerunning this program with HEAP_CHECK_TEST_POINTER_ALIGNMENT=1 and/or with HEAP_CHECK_MAX_POINTER_OFFSET=-1
If the leak report occurs in a small fraction of runs, try running with TCMALLOC_MAX_FREE_QUEUE_SIZE of few hundred MB or with TCMALLOC_RECLAIM_MEMORY=false, it might help find leaks more re
Exiting with error code (instead of crashing) because of whole-program memory leaks

google-pprof的输出包含堆使用分析:

Total: 0.0 MB
     0.0 100.0% 100.0%      0.0 100.0% my_malloc

     0.0   0.0% 100.0%      0.0 100.0% main

输出为我们指出了三个泄漏中的两个:

Leak of 256 bytes in 1 objects allocated from:
        @ 555bf6e5815d my_malloc
        @ 555bf6e5817a leaky
        @ 555bf6e581d3 main
        @ 7f71e88c9b6b __libc_start_main
        @ 555bf6e5808a _start
Leak of 16 bytes in 1 objects allocated from:
        @ 555bf6e5815d my_malloc
        @ 555bf6e5817a leaky
        @ 555bf6e581b5 main
        @ 7f71e88c9b6b __libc_start_main
        @ 555bf6e5808a _start

我不知道为什么第三个没出现

在任何情况下，通常当某些东西泄漏时，它会发生很多次，当我在一个真实的项目中使用它时，我只是很容易就被指出泄漏函数。

正如输出本身所提到的，这会导致显著的执行速度放缓。

地址消毒(ASan)也由谷歌

https://github.com/google/sanitizers

前面提到过:如何在c++代码/项目中找到内存泄漏?TODO vs tcmalloc。

这已经集成到GCC中，所以你可以这样做:

gcc -fsanitize=address -ggdb3 -o main.out main.c
./main.out 

和执行输出:

它清楚地识别所有泄漏。好了!

ASan还可以做其他很酷的检查，比如越界写入:检测到堆栈破坏

在Ubuntu 19.04, GCC 8.3.0中测试。

Valgrind

所以再一次，所有的泄漏都被检测到了。

请参见:如何使用valgrind查找内存泄漏?

在Ubuntu 19.04, valgrind 3.14.0中测试。

在visual studio中，有一个内置的内存泄漏检测器，称为C运行时库。当主函数返回后程序退出时，CRT将检查应用程序的调试堆。如果在调试堆上仍然分配了任何块，那么就存在内存泄漏。 本论坛讨论了在C/ c++中避免内存泄漏的一些方法。
