How do I use valgrind to find memory leaks?

Try this:

valgrind --leak-check=full -v ./your_program

As long as valgrind is installed it will go through your program and tell you what’s wrong. It can give you pointers and approximate places where your leaks may be found. If you’re segfault’ing, try running it through gdb.
