Title:
  valgrind confused by gcc?

Status in valgrind package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: valgrind

  1. cd to a directory you can write to
  2. make sure git-core and kdbg is installed
  3. $ git clone git://v3c.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/v3c/v3c
  4. $ cd v3c
  5. $ make release check
  6. $ ( cd build/v3c/tests && LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(cd .. && pwd)/.libs valgrind -v  --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes \
  --db-attach=yes --db-command="kdbg -p %p %f" --freelist-vol=10000000 .libs/bit-vector-test; )
  7. In the valgrind output, you will see "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)"
  8. Type "y<return>" to start the debugger.

  Expanding the statements into assembler doesn't help wither.
      test   %edx,%edx
  I can see that edx is being set by the caller.

  Plus, valgrind takes about 20 seconds to exit after the program ends.
