commit ed72bf4cebe47dda78a41fbeebe803caa13f2cfa from: Florian Westphal date: Fri Sep 11 21:09:11 2009 UTC resolve.c: fix valgrind 'uninitialized memory' warning fix the following warning generated by valgrind if ipv6 is enabled: Syscall param write(buf) points to uninitialised byte(s) at 0x4000982: (within /lib/ld-2.9.so) by 0x80681A8: Resolve_Name (resolve.c:477) by 0x805439F: Conn_Handler (conn.c:1658) by 0x804AA7C: main (ngircd.c:331) The warning is because ng_ipaddr_t can be a union, and only the necessary parts are initialised. The callers know what part of the union is valid, so this is not a bug. commit - d76910ce7b9fad5679b7c614ed086e036560e37d commit + ed72bf4cebe47dda78a41fbeebe803caa13f2cfa blob - 20077a41d45e8e7e6865672ccaaa333b7a513571 blob + b1487beff7bf7a8ee89b28f3913afe57ac26ebd6 --- src/ngircd/resolve.c +++ src/ngircd/resolve.c @@ -291,6 +291,8 @@ ForwardLookup(const char *hostname, array *IpAddr) if (!Conf_ConnectIPv4) hints.ai_family = AF_INET6; #endif + memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr)); + res = getaddrinfo(hostname, NULL, &hints, &ai_results); switch (res) { case 0: break;
