I recently compiled vanilla OpenSSL 0.9.8a with -DPURIFY=1 and on Debian GNU/Linux 'sid' with valgrind version 3.1.1 was able to debug some application using both TLS/SSL as S/MIME without any warning or error about the OpenSSL code. Without -DPURIFY you're indeed flooded with warnings. So yes I think not using the uninitialized memory (it's only a single line, the other occurrence is already commented out) helps valgrind. -- Marco Roeland ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
