Re: Valgrind is grinding my gears

[David Buchan <pdbuchan yahoo com>]

Perhaps relevant, is that I have a large struct which I use to pass stuff amongst functions and callbacks and 
I allocate memory for it in main() thus:

  // Allocate data structure
  data = g_slice_new (MyData);

and then free it at the end:

  g_slice_free (MyData, data);

Maybe Valgrind has trouble with g-sliced memory?

Subject: Valgrind is grinding my gears
 

I have a rather large program I've written in C language which uses GTK+2. My Makefile has:

CCFLAGS = `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 gmodule-2.0`
LIBS    = `pkg-config --libs   gtk+-2.0 gmodule-2.0`

GCC compiles it without warnings using flags:

-Wall -O -Wuninitialized

My program has several user interface files prepared using Glade.

I use the program quite a bit and have no stability issues.

But when I invoke Valgrind at runtime, I get a lot of errors which I can't make any sense of.

I have grabbed a small sample of them here:

http://pdbuchan.com/valgrind.txt

I don't like ignoring errors and warnings, but I don't know what to do with these.

Has anybody else come across these types of Valgrind notifications?
