CLI tool that explains C memory leaks and suggests fixes

Hello everyone,

I’ve developed an open-source tool called Leax.
It’s a CLI that acts as a companion to Valgrind to help understand memory leaks in C programs.

https://github.com/hooop/leax

Leax combines Valgrind, GDB-based tracing, and Mistral AI to:
• pinpoint the root cause of a leak,
• explain why it happens,
• and suggest a concrete fix.

The memory analysis itself is deterministic (based on execution traces), while the AI is mainly used to explain the “story” of memory in your program in plain language.

It works well on classic C programs using malloc/free. There are still limitations in some cases (multi-process programs, etc.), and the tool is actively being improved.

If anyone wants to try it on their C projects, I’d really appreciate feedback and suggestions!

Thanks!
