Monitoring of a memory allocation

I'm developing on Linux/g++ and uses valgrind to verify memory usage. My question is: How do I know where there is an allocation of memory in my application (including system libraries)? May be valgrind provides this functionality, or some similar tool.

If you want to profile memory usage, have a look at massif (valgrind tool). Also try the excellent massif visualizer to visualize the results.

I think you are looking for --trace-malloc=yes.

gdb will allow you to monitor a specific memory section for writes and reads. You can set a break point on this. You can use the gdb 'watch' command.
