Massif is a heap profiling tool. It takes several "snapshots" during execution of your program detailing the various heap allocations throughout. It's output for each snapshot primarily consists the time of the snapshot, how many bytes were allocated that can be used, and how much extra was allocated than was asked. The unit of time can be configured to be instructions, milliseconds or bytes. At specified intervals, "detailed" snapshots are produced. These detailed snapshots contain a tree of heap allocations that comprise that snapshot. Unlike Memcheck, Massif does not yet support XML output. Massif's output is complex and as such requires creative ways of displaying it. Valgrind includes the ms_print program that is used to display Massif's output in a visually appealing manner. ms_print was used as a template for how to display this output.
