There are many tools built into Valgrind. I have used it for detecting leaks when building a component in a large C++ framework for scientific computing.
Installing
Reboot usage of valgrind. It's 2018.
To get valgrind installed, I used Kali Tools to check it out.

sudo apt-get install gdb gcc-multilib libc6-dev-i386 mpi-default-dev docbook docbook-xsl xsltproc
Installing debian package
The debian/ folder of the valgrind directory created by kali-tools will be used to create a Debian package (deb) file.
