- I want to use the tool to check memory leak for C program in Mac.I am using Mac OSX 10.9. There is one tool 'Valgrind', it is Valgrind This.

Valgrind for Mac OS X. Some assembly required.
Valgrind is a powerful open-source memory debugger. This is a port of Valgrind for Mac OS X.

Valgrind is a programming tool for memory debugging, memory leak detection and profiling. Its installation for macOS High Sierra seems problematic and I wanted to write this post to tell the solution that worked for me. I use Homebrew to install it which is the recommended way and the solution also uses it. It was folded into the main Valgrind distribution in version 3.2.0. Available separately is an amazing visualisation tool, KCachegrind, which gives a much better overview of the data that Callgrind collects; it can also be used to visualise Cachegrind's output.
Caveat programmer
This port is UNSUPPORTED and INCOMPLETE and BUGGY. It may not find bugs in your program, or run your program correctly, or run your program at all.
Requirements
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
- An Intel processor (32- or 64-bit).
- As much RAM as you can afford.
Download and build
Valgrind's Mac OS X support is now part of Valgrind's main development trunk. Follow their instructions to download and build the latest code.

Run
Some things that don't work
- PowerPC code
- Signals
- Many system calls
- Objective-C garbage collection
--db-attach=yes
- Tools other than
memcheck
Errors in system libraries
Some system libraries have false positives or legitimate errors. Valgrind has a 'suppression file' mechanism to ignore specified errors. This port does not include any suppressions, so you'll have to discover them on your own. Please do not file bug reports against system libraries on Valgrind evidence alone.
Messages you may see while running
If you see messages like the following, then your program is using a system call that Valgrind doesn't support. Your program may run incorrectly after this. Messages like the following can probably be ignored. Messages like the following indicate a mismatch between Valgrind's memory map and the kernel. Occasional failures are expected in multithreaded programs. If the failure repeats for the same address range, then there may be a problem causing false errors or crashes.
Valgrind Mac Download Software
Current release: valgrind-3.16.1
Valgrind is an instrumentation framework for building dynamic analysis tools. There are Valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, and profile your programs in detail. You can also use Valgrind to build new tools.

The Valgrind distribution currently includes seven production-qualitytools: a memory error detector, two thread error detectors, a cacheand branch-prediction profiler, a call-graph generating cache andbranch-prediction profiler, and two different heap profilers. It also includesan experimental SimPoint basic block vector generator. It runs on the followingplatforms: X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM/Linux, ARM64/Linux, PPC32/Linux, PPC64/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS32/Linux, MIPS64/Linux, X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris, ARM/Android (2.3.x and later), ARM64/Android, X86/Android (4.0 and later), MIPS32/Android, X86/Darwin and AMD64/Darwin (Mac OS X 10.12).
