by Milian Wolff

From the article:

Heaptrack is a fast heap memory profiler that runs on Linux. It allows you to track all heap memory allocations at run-time.

Afterwards, the accompanying GUI tool can be used to find optimization opportunities in your code by analyzing the recorded profiling data. It allows you to:

• Inspect peak heap memory consumption
• Find memory leaks
• Count overall number of memory allocations and find temporary allocations
• Find small allocations with large overhead
