[vlc-devel] memory corruption / vlc in valgrind

[Gilles Sabourin]

Hi,


I do not know valgrind very well. I have launched it with the following 
options :

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --db-attach=yes /usr/bin/vlc

vex amd64->IR: unhandled instruction bytes: 0xF 0xF 0xC0 0x9E
==2904== valgrind: Unrecognised instruction at address 0x4EE8BC1.
==2904== Your program just tried to execute an instruction that Valgrind
==2904== did not recognise.  There are two possible reasons for this.
==2904== 1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a non-code
==2904==    location.  If you are running Memcheck and you just saw a
==2904==    warning about a bad jump, it's probably your program's fault.
==2904== 2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't handle it,
==2904==    i.e. it's Valgrind's fault.  If you think this is the case or
==2904==    you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try to fix it.
==2904== Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal which will
==2904== probably kill your program.
