Summary

This episode demonstrates how to use Valgrind and GDB together to debug memory issues in C++ programs. Jason shows how Valgrind can act as a remote GDB server, allowing developers to get contextual breakpoints at the exact moment memory errors occur. The integration provides powerful debugging capabilities by combining Valgrind's memory checking with GDB's interactive debugging features, particularly useful for detecting use-after-free bugs and other memory-related issues.
