The valgrind nastiness appears even without the correct auth credentials.

Running using psql is very odd:

$ valgrind psql --username x -W 127.0.0.1
==14382== Memcheck, a memory error detector
==14382== Copyright (C) 2002-2013, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al.
==14382== Using Valgrind-3.10.0.SVN and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info
==14382== Command: /usr/bin/psql --username x -W 127.0.0.1
==14382==
Password for user x:
psql: FATAL:  Peer authentication failed for user "x"

No valgrind errors, but no valgrind summary either. Not quite sure what causes 
that.

This is one explanation. Another explanation is that the PostgreSQL 
client library or one of the libraries it depends on causes these 
messages. Could you please fire up the psql command line utility under 
valgrind and do what your test program does, i.e. establish a 
connection? If this test does not report unitialized variables, we'll 
have to revisit the pgsql driver.

regards,
Markus

I reran with mysql and it doesn't appear. I presume it's the pgsql dbi driver.

Hi,

I wouldn't bet from valgrind's output that it is libdbi variables which 
are uninitialized. Can you re-run your test with a different database 
engine? I'd suggest using the sqlite3 driver as this engine has few if 
any external dependencies.

regards,
Markus
