Words of wisdom

• When you run your code in Valgrind, your application is executed within a virtual machine that validates every memory access. It will therefore run much slower than usual. Choose the size of the problem to test with caution, much smaller than what you would usually run.
• You do not need to run the exact same problem that results in a segmentation fault to detect memory issues in your code. Very frequently, memory access problem, such as reading data outside of the bounds of an array, will go undetected for small size problems, but will cause a segmentation fault for large ones. Valgrind will detect even the slightest access outside of the bounds of an array.
