Valgrind Exercise

Overview

Using Valgrind to find and correct errors.

Standard install via command-line

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Ghost1995/Valgrind.git
cd <path to repository>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Run tests: ./test/cpp-test
Run program: ./app/shell-app

Building for code coverage

sudo apt-get install lcov
cmake -D COVERAGE=ON -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../
make
make code_coverage

This generates a index.html page in the build/coverage sub-directory that can be viewed locally in a web browser.
