I have a problem, with valgrind; I dont know why when I check my program developped in C with valgrind, it couldn’t display functions names (it display “???”) where it found problems but this problems is not for all errors that it detects

Have you a solution for displaying functions names with valgrind?

Thanks in advance

    Presumably these errors are occurring in libraries for which you have no debug symbols.
    It’s easy to confirm: just do look at /proc/pidof my-binary/maps while the application is running.

    This clearly shows the addresses of the code sections (marked as r-xp) of each shared library. Just find the range matching the addresses you see and you’ll at least know which library is responsible.
