Graphical User Interfaces and IDE Integration

Several graphical front-ends have been built for Valgrind. We do not keep track of what is available and we also do not test the functionality and usefulness of GUIs or IDE integration that we know about.

If you know a GUI that should be included here because it provides a unique value-add and works with the current Valgrind release do let us know.

Here is a list of GUIs and IDE extensions we know about that may be useful:

• Valkyrie is a Qt-based GUI that works for the Memcheck and Helgrind tools.

• KDevelop lets you use Valgrind as a plugin.

• Eclipse has a GUI plugin to integrate Valgrind into its C++ Development Tools. Information on use and downloads links can be found here: http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/projectPages/valgrind/.

• Valgrind integration into Visual Studio Code can be found here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=1nVitr0.valgrind-task-integration/

• sanity.nvim: A Neovim plugin for dynamic analysis tools: https://github.com/dlyongemallo/sanity.nvim

• Valgrind integration into the CLion cross-platform IDE is described here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/memory-profiling-with-valgrind.html

• Qtcreator also has support for running and configuring Valgrind: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-run-settings-valgrind.html
