Hello list
I'm about to release a new version of alsamixer-qt4 (now named qasmixer) and ran the program through valgrind.
valgrind --track-origins=yes src/qasmixer &> valgrind.log
The log file contains tons of warnings like this
==3432== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ... ... (qasmixer function calls) ... ==3432== Uninitialised value was created by a heap allocation ... malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:236) ... init_db_range (simple_none.c:1111) ... get_dB_range (simple_none.c:1156) ... get_dB_range_ops (simple_none.c:1173) ... snd_mixer_selem_get_playback_dB_range (simple.c:298) ... ... (qasmixer function calls) ...
The fresh alsa-lib-10-24.1 was used for this, compiled with debug symbols enabled. Drivers are from Debian/squeeze.
This issue doesn't seem critical for the application but it totally floods the valgrind.log file.
Best, Sebastian Holtermann
