------- Comment #9 from zadeck at naturalbridge dot com 2008-01-12 16:34 ------- i personally think that this patch in #8 is not the right way to go.
unless there is a compelling argument that initializing this is going to have some negative performance effect, we should properly initialize this datastructure as we do (or at least try to do) for every other data structure in the compiler. While the current code that peter has written is correct, it is quite tricky. This compiler has way too much tricky code, which only adds to the long term maintainance cost of the compiler. the patch in 8 is not acceptable because it requires that the compiler be built in a particular way to avoid the valgrind errors. The last thing that you want to have to do if you have a heisenbug is to rebuild your compiler in a way that will change the layout and alignment of things. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33796
