From: "thor at math dot tu-berlin dot de" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org> To: glibc-bugs@sources.redhat.com Subject: [Bug libc/4861] New: uninitialized data in the profiling code Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2007 10:50:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <20070728105046.4861.thor@math.tu-berlin.de> (raw) When running multithreaded code on the above architecture using valgrind, it detects at times the following problem: ==30381== Use of uninitialised value of size 8 ==30381== at 0x564C310: profil_counter (in /lib64/libc-2.5.so) ==30381== by 0x55B95AF: (within /lib64/libc-2.5.so) Apparently, something's wrong here. Unfortunately, this problem is not easy to reproduce. A potentially related problem seems to be that semaphores and profiling do not seem to go well together in multithreaded code. With profiling enabled, some semaphores seem to become spuriously available? glibc release seems to be 2.5 on a Suse 10.2 (unfortunately with a custom kernel patched by HP), running gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) -- Summary: uninitialized data in the profiling code Product: glibc Version: unspecified Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: libc AssignedTo: drepper at redhat dot com ReportedBy: thor at math dot tu-berlin dot de CC: glibc-bugs at sources dot redhat dot com GCC build triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4861 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
