With Valgrind:

Installation

As simple as pip3 install valgreen. Keep in mind you need a working Valgrind installation!

Usage

Just write valgreen ./exec instead of valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --show-reachable=yes ./exec

Example

Valgreen vs Valgrind output

$ gcc -g example.c -o example
$ valgreen ./example

 1) Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
   at main (example.c:8)
   Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
   at main (example.c:4)

 2) Invalid write of size 1
   at main (example.c:12)
    Address 0x522d042 is 0 bytes after a block of size 2 alloc'd
    at malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
    by main (example.c:11)

 3) Invalid read of size 1
   at main (example.c:15)
    Address 0x522d045 is 3 bytes after a block of size 2 alloc'd
    at malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
    by main (example.c:11)

 4) Invalid free() / delete / delete[] / realloc()
   at free (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
    by main (example.c:19)
   Address 0x522d040 is 0 bytes inside a block of size 2 free'd
   at free (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
    by main (example.c:18)
   Block was alloc'd at
   at malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
    by main (example.c:11)

 5) 100 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 1
   at malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
    by main (example.c:22)
