Hi all,
I've configured a source build of OpenMPI 1.3.2 with valgrind enabled
[1], and I'm seeing a lot of errors with writev() when I run this under
valgrind. For example, with the following `hello, world' program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
puts("Hello, world!");
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
I see errors like the following:
==12342== Syscall param writev(vector[...]) points to uninitialised byte(s)
==12342== at 0x61DF733: writev (in /lib/libc-2.7.so)
==12342== by 0x7889AB9: mca_oob_tcp_msg_send_handler (oob_tcp_msg.c:265)

==12342== by 0x767C7EC: orte_rml_oob_send (rml_oob_send.c:137)
==12342== by 0x767D19A: orte_rml_oob_send_buffer (rml_oob_send.c:269)

==12342== by 0x4E6DCAF: ompi_mpi_init (ompi_mpi_init.c:626)
The full vg log is appended [2]. Of course, I could just suppress
this error, but I get this for a lot (every?) MPI call which does
communication, it seems (broadcasts, sends, recv's, allgathers, etc.).
I'm worried a suppression would suppress too much / suppress an error
I've caused.
Have others seen this? Can I suppress perhaps from the
orte_rml_oob_send_buffer down (safely)?
