Subject: Valgrind sessions! + Debugging with GDB
Date: Sunday, 16 Feb 2020, 14:46:05

Now that you are entering the wonderful world of C memory allocation, I am hosting two sessions this week to introduce you to your new best friend: valgrind! Valgrind is an invaluable tool to help you catch mistakes with memory management and save hours of fruitless debugging. 

The first session will be TOMORROW (Monday, 2/17) at 8:45pm in Room 111 of 17 Hillhouse, and it will be a Valgrind tutorial followed by another debugging with GDB session.

The second session will directly follow the Tuesday (2/18) HW3 walk-through (also in Room 111 of HLH17). If you don't attend the walk-through first, you should arrive around 7:45pm.

If you can't make it to any of the valgrind sessions, this is a great resource: https://zoo.cs.yale.edu/classes/cs223/current/Valgrind.

We have a lot of helpful sessions scheduled for this week, so just to recap, here's the schedule (excluding regular office hours nightly Sun-Thurs):
Sunday (2/16) at 7pm: HW3 Walk-through #1
Monday (2/17) at 8:45pm: Valgrind tutorial + Debugging with GDB
Tuesday (2/18) at 7pm: HW3 Walkthrough #2, immediately followed by another Valgrind tutorial (valgrind starting around 7:45-8pm)
All sessions will take place in Room 111 of HLH17.

We hope to see you there!!
