Sorry for peppering you with emails but I just noticed this statement: "For newly written code it is recommended to use the new g_slice API instead of g_malloc() and friends, as long as objects are not resized during their lifetime and the object size used at allocation time is still available when freeing" - https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Memory-Slices.html
I do indeed change dimensions of arrays declared within my struct (a lot, in fact). Could this be the cause? ________________________________ From: David Buchan <pdbuc...@yahoo.com> To: gtk-app-devel-list list <gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 5, 2013 1:09 PM Subject: Re: Valgrind is grinding my gears 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? ________________________________ From: David Buchan <pdbuc...@yahoo.com> To: gtk-app-devel-list list <gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 5, 2013 12:47 PM 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?
