I dont think you can run do that on source code using valgrind, may be try purify or any static code analysis tool.

Valgrind tool is used to find memory leaks for a binary/process. Unless you run a process, memory leaks can't be generated. Valgrind tool comes under the dynamic code analysis code. Klocworks tool is used for static analysis. Klocworks tool gives very good result but it is license tool.

C: Need to forbid a C program to run until certain date or time during the day?

Let's say I have an exe-file (for example computer game) and need to forbid to run it until certain date or time during the day. Any 'manipulations' with file are allowed.

Could you, please, offer me a simple way of how to encode/decode such a file mostly in C or C++?
