Open Source C Debuggers

Cinemagoer is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of the IMDb movie database about movies, people, characters and companies. Platform-independent, it can retrieve data from both the IMDb's web server and a local copy of the whole db.

Developer tool for automatic runtime tracing software errors with various resources. Number of resources virtually unlimited.

System monitoring utility, written in plain C. Allows application execution and performance monitoring, saving results into XML files. Monitors CPU, memory, network and disk usage on a per-application or per-system basis.

Warning: Older projects may have to be compiled with -DDEBUG_NEW_CONFIG_HAVE_DEPRECATED Debug_New offers the possibility of debugging memoryleaks, not only (note the "not only"; that's just one of its functions) in a <report-memory-leaks-on-shutdown> kind of way, but implemented using memory-states. - Cross platform + Cross compiler support (only utilizes the preprocessor and template-voodoo-magic for c++) - Supports C and C++ - Supports gcc and g++ - Supports pthread and any posix platform - Multithreading is supported. - Easy to use and install (just include the header and link the source). - Easily debug memory-leaks. - Easily debug dangling pointers. - Easily debug deallocation method correctness. - Easily debug array index errors (when writing past the end). - Easily profile memory usage and track down memory hawks. - Click-And-Goto-Source support for Visual Studio. - Integrated compatibility for new, new[], delete, delete[], malloc, calloc, realloc, free

ATrace is a tracing tool uses the ptrace interface. ATrace allows tuning and troubleshooting of applications without modification of the source or object code and can be parameterized via config files and logs the addresses of executed instructions.

This project born a few years ago when I encountered a fatal bug on a production environment, unfortunately not replicable on my development machine. I spent many time finding a solution, using also freeware and commercial third-party tools and libraries, but none helped me because the bug crashed the process, and no of the above tools could be able to catch the exception before the process dying. Also, it was not possible to install a development environment onto the production machines, so the only solution was to develop a debugger which didn't need any user/developer interaction. I used many open source resources, then I decided to make the Bug Finder an open source project. It is built over a pluggable architecture to support other languages different from Borland Delphi (the one I used to develop my faulting application and the Bug Finder too). Here is the article http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/602794/Bug-Finder-a-real-Win32-extensible-passive-debugge .

Parsing, interpreting, checking and profiling C application (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E))

The goal of this project is to develop the OS-independent, obtrusive, customizable, extensible, generic logging and tracing software mechanism.

Binutils, gcc, gdb and glibc re-targeted for MIPS R3000R and R5900 as shipped in PlayStation and PlayStation 2 video game consoles, both from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

A Python programming environment providing memory sizing, profiling and analysis, and a specification language that can formally specify aspects of Python programs and generate tests and documentation from a common source.

JDLabAgent is a dynamic link library which is loaded into the Java Virtual Machine via Java Virtual Machine Debug Interface (JVMDI). The JDLabAgent can be parameterized via config files and logs JVM events (e.g. breakpoints, exceptions).

This is a dynamic slicing tool for Java programs. The tool modifies the Kaffe virtual machine to collect the execution trace, and compress the trace on-the-fly. Please proceed to the tool's website http://jslice.sourceforge.net/ for download.

MemTrace is a tool for tracking memory errors (memory leaks, double frees, memory overflows, etc.) in C/C++ programs, and requires no change to existing source code to use.

Performance profiler is designed to profile single and multi-threading software.

SafeBox is intended to be a next-generation debugger/profiler/analyzer for programs running in user space. It will include arquitecture simulation to allow advanced features like monitoring or restricting API use. Extensible using plug-ins.

Wraper for memmory allocation function ( {c,m}alloc and free) providing information about memmory leaks, double and invalid free.

A set of performance tools for Windows platform: memory leak detector and sampling profiler.

Function call tracing in the Linux kernel and userspace applications. Dynamically sets probes (using VProbes, a KProbes variant) and displays the function call trace of a process calling kernel or application functions. The superior of strace and ltrace.

Fossa is a runtime CUDA memory extender for Linux. With fossa, users can run CUDA applications that require more than the available amount of GPU memory. Fossa is targeted toward command line driven applications.

latrace is frontend for the glibc 2.4+ LD_AUDIT feature

Libinstrument is a complete and easy way to do custom function instrumentation for C/C++. The project comes ready with classic applications of instrumentation, such as AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming), Concern and Side Effect injection, stack tracing, exception tracing, basic time profiling, callgraph profiling and other. A GC (Garbage Collector) module is also under development. Libinstrument is highly portable and decoupled. The project comes with a CMake build system, integration with IDEs (CLion, Eclipse e.t.c) is straightforward. Using lazy algorithms there is virtually zero overhead in benchmarks and minimum overhead in execution time. Libinstrument tries to be as non-intrusive as possible, while trying to help the developer offering basic reflection. There are Unit Tests for each class and method, testing is driven with CTest.

Detect memory leaks, debug them and analyze performance of allocation/deallocation with this simple middle-ware which provides wrappers for malloc/calloc/free

Shiny is a lightning fast, fully documented & by-far-easiest-to-use C/C++/Lua profiler with no extensive surgery. Results are smoothed & shown in run-time as a call-tree or sorted-by-time. Output also renderable as graphs in Ogre3D or your custom engine
