Installation
============

As simple as :code:`pip3 install valgreen`. Keep in mind you need a working Valgrind installation!

Usage
=====

Just write :code:`valgreen ./exec` instead of :code:`valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --show-reachable=yes ./exec`

Example
=======

Valgreen vs Valgrind output

.. code::

    $ gcc -g example.c -o example
    $ valgreen ./example

     1) Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
       at main (example.c:8)
       Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
       at main (example.c:4)

     2) Invalid write of size 1
       at main (example.c:12)
        Address 0x522d042 is 0 bytes after a block of size 2 alloc'd
        at malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
        by main (example.c:11)

     3) Invalid read of size 1
       at main (example.c:15)
        Address 0x522d045 is 3 bytes after a block of size 2 alloc'd
        at malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
        by main (example.c:11)

     4) Invalid free() / delete / delete[] / realloc()
       at free (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
        by main (example.c:19)
       Address 0x522d040 is 0 bytes inside a block of size 2 free'd
       at free (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
        by main (example.c:18)
       Block was alloc'd at
       at malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
        by main (example.c:11)

     5) 100 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 1
       at malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
        by main (example.c:22)

    $ valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --show-reachable=yes ./example
