Hi list,
i have recently started to play with valgrind and for yet unknown reasons
i get a lot of "Syscall param write(buf) points to uninitialised byte(s)"
even for a simple program like this:
#include <jack/jack.h>
int main()
{
const char *name="test";
jack_client_t *client;
jack_options_t options=JackNoStartServer;
jack_status_t status;
client=jack_client_open(name,options,&status);
jack_client_close(client);
return 0;
}
//gcc -o test test.c -ljack
//valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --track-origins=yes -v
./test
Is there anything missing in the code example?
Should i worry about the errors shown by valgrind (in that case 10 errors
from 6 contexts) at all?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Thomas

amend:
sorry that was too quick, it's 2 errors in 2 contexts. The above applies
to jack_simple_client.
I hope it's convenient to paste output here, so here is the output for
