Hi all! I'm new to this list, but have used Valgrind many times in the past.
Today I'm making a serious effort to clean up a non-trivial body of code, and have run into a number of error reports like this one: ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== at 0x7B0BCC2: ttci2n (in /home/interface/interface/oralib-12/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x7B20DF5: ttcacs (in /home/interface/interface/oralib-12/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x7AF2503: ttcdrv (in /home/interface/interface/oralib-12/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x7AE14C8: nioqwa (in /home/interface/interface/oralib-12/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x7AC35CB: upirtrc (in /home/interface/interface/oralib-12/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x7ACDDE5: kpurcsc (in /home/interface/interface/oralib-12/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x7AC710D: kpuexec (in /home/interface/interface/oralib-12/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x7AC3F78: OCIStmtExecute (in /home/interface/interface/oralib-12/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x45078D: HS_do_OCI_stuff (HS_oci.c:1460) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x407DA0: HS_send2HS (HS_thr_out.c:261) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x4083BB: HS_convertandsend (HS_thr_out.c:468) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x40884E: HS_out_msg (HS_thr_out.c:629) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x40913C: HS_out_main (HS_thr_out.c:933) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x409797: HS_main_out (HS_thr_out.c:1172) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== by 0x9C50DD4: start_thread (pthread_create.c:307) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== at 0x407C67: HS_send2HS (HS_thr_out.c:231) ==00:00:00:11.329 1533== The problem with that report is that line 231 contains no explicit code: static HS_IF_STATE HS_send2HS (HS_out_thread * myoutthr, HS_MSGBUF * msgbuf, HS_IF_PARMS * ifparms, xmlChar * xmlbufptr, char * HS_resp, HS_patdat * patdat, char * databuf) { <== line 231 HS_IF_STATE status = OK; int success, warnings; int numtries = 0 I can't find anything that's allocated in that function that would be un-initialized later in the program, and I don't know what it thinks is on line 231.
