Datagrind is a valgrind tool that captures all read and write accesses made by
a program and records them in a log file. A separate tool (dg_view), can then
be used to visually represent the reads and writes.
To get started, run
git clone https://github.com/bmerry/datagrind.git
cd datagrind
git submodule update --init
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd .
git clone https://github.com/bmerry/dg_view.git
cd dg_view
scons
To see it in action, run
valgrind --tool=exp-datagrind --datagrind-out=ls.out ls
build/dg_view ls.out
