Try valgrind

Today, I will try valgrind, a tool to analyze c++ app.
Download the newest version:
wget http://valgrind.org/downloads/valgrind-3.9.0.tar.bz2
unzip it
tar jxvf valgrind-3.9.0.tar.bz2
 then enter the folder and compile it with root account
cd valgrind-3.9.0
./configure
make
make install
install required libs
apt-get install libc6-dbg

Then use valgrind to launch your app, e.g.
# valgrind --leak-check=yes --log-file=profile ./data_service_d ./config.xml &
You will get the below from profile file in current folder.
