Hi,

The following is the message I get when I run valgrind on my C code.

==16455== Use of uninitialised value of size 8

==16455==    by 0x400752: main (matrix1.c:28)

From my understanding something on line 28 in the file matrix1.c is causing an error. When I look at the source code,

  matrix = (int **) malloc (size * sizeof(int *));
  for (row = 0; row < size; row++) {
matrix[row] = (int *) malloc (size * sizeof(int)); <------------------- Line 28
  }

I do not see how this can be a problem. Am I missing something very fundamental?

Any suggestion is appreciated.


Line 28 is where the data is allocated; line 42 is where Valgrind says it is referenced before being initialized. From the call stack, it appears that you are trying to print some matrix[i][j] using a printf() call on line 42.
