Description Elijah Newren 2004-09-21 22:34:06 UTC 
My computer at school has 2 Gig of ram, so I thought I'd take advantage of it. 
:-)  Anyway, I'll attach the log in a minute.  I only ran for a couple minutes,
because things are pretty slow when I try to do this.  I can try running for
longer some time, if we think it'd be useful.

Note that I may have been running with the patches in bug 152952 applied (can't
remember--sorry), which would affect the line numbers.  I am certain no other
patches were in use, and I was using CVS HEAD.
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2004-09-22 03:36:53 UTC 
Looks like a lot of noise from the libraries, but certainly worth tracking each
of these down...

Initialize a couple things

Initializing the four variables that this patch does cuts the number of errors
reported from valgrind down from around 50 to about 15 or so.  I believe
there's more that could probably be done in Metacity, but I was having
difficulty tracking some of it down so I thought I'd submit this patch while I
have it.  I will try to look at some of the others, though.

Initialize a couple things

I committed, but I'm leaving the bug open since there's still other errors that
we need to look at.
Comment 7 Elijah Newren 2004-12-20 19:50:42 UTC 
I was unable to figure the other errors out.  Maybe just library noise?  I don't
know, but I'm going to go ahead and mark as fixed since we did fix a number of
the issues.  It's easy to obtain the remaining messages by running valgrind
again anyway...
