I have a code executable as "demonstrate"> I want to have a neat memory profiling for thios executable. I have gone through the valgrind's massif tool and found out to be something which could fetch me results that I am looking for. Although there is a slight issues I am coming across.
My executable takes various arguments and w/o it it wont run e.g ./demonstrate -t 10 -p 1 -P 3
As soon as I run massif on the above statement it tells me "Error allocating heap"
taskset -c 0-10 valgrind --tool=massif ./demonstrate -t 10 -p 1 -P 3

Quite similar issue happened with mtrace. Included mcheck header and called mtrace and muntrace at the beginning and end and tried calling demonstrate e.g
mtrace ./demonstrate -t 10 -p 1 -P 3 -f file.txt mALLOCoUT.TXT
Wrong number of arguments, run /usr/bin/mtrace --help for help. at /usr/bin/mtrace line 89.
Although when I run the application without the valgrind option the application runs fine:
./demonstrate -t 10 -p 1 -P 3
Opened 1
Opened 2
Opened 3

Any suggestion on how to get any of these working with several command line arguments.
