Valgrind Not Working For C Program Mac

I didn’t think valgrind was available on Mac or rather that it’d be so easy to get it running on Mac OS X. Thanks for the post! I’ve also had issues with the location of XCode in. Valgrind is a flexible program for debugging and profiling Linux executables. It consists of a core, which provides a synthetic CPU in software, and a series of debugging and profiling tools. The architecture is modular, so that new tools can be created easily and without disturbing the existing structure.

Valgrind Not Working For C Program Mac Os X

I am trying to run a c++ project in eclipse with valgrind leak check.I can't see the output of valgrind in eclipse console, therefore I can't know if I have leaks or not.

I added in run configurations --> arguments the following:
valgrind --leak-check=yes

Do I need to add anything? Is there a different reason that might cause this?

Thank you

EDIT:
The problem is with Valgrind not running on Windows. I used to work in Linux environment and didn't know Windows doesn't work with Valgrind in the same way.

So rephrasing my question:

I am using Eclipse Luna on Windows 8 64bit.

I have looked through some other posts but so far nothing has been working:

1. I tried to get the Visual Leak Detector, but I couldn't debug because of gdb problems (I installed it using apt-get command).
I tried to:
A. set the location of my gdb, like here Eclipse CDT cannot debug using gdb on Mac but couldn't understand it's location in windows (find . -name returned no interesting results).
B. Also I tried to set the Source Lookup Path as mentioned here How to get gdb working with Eclipse CDT under windows (fails to find source code) , but it did not work as well.
C. Also I tried to reinstall cygwin and select the gdb package, but it was N/A (or I at least couldn't understand how to select it).

2. I tried this from Free Application to check Memory Leaks in Windows x64?

#define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
#include
#include

Add the following right before the program's exit point(s):

_CrtDumpMemoryLeaks();

It doesn't work as well.

I will try and get the other tools in other posts when I have the time, but if anyone has a solution for why what I have tried so far didn't work - I'll be happy to know.
