Tools

When developing applications and system components for GNOME, you’ll likely need to rely on various tools outside of your editor.

• GTK Inspector: inspect GTK applications

• Valgrind: a tool that allows to track memory related errors in C and C++ programs

• Massif: a heap profiler, part of the Valgrind suite

• Sysprof: a system-wide sampling profiler that uses the perf Linux kernel module
