=== strace and ltrace
*strace*
To trace out the system calls that are being used in program, directly or indirectly, we can use this tool to analyze the program.

*ltrace*
Just like strace to trace the usage of library in program, we can use `ltrace` tools.

= *Static Analysis tools*
We can use cppcheck, which is static analysis tool.
Or we can use `-Weffc++` flag with `g++` for static analysis.
