[Valgrind-users] improbably "uninitialized value" warning

[Daniel M. <da...@im...>]

I'm using valgrind 2.2.0 for the first time, on a linux 2.6.7 system with 
gcc 3.3.4.  I have optimizations set to -O.  However, I'm getting *many* 
warnings about "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialized value"... 
some of these warnings are clearly spurious; a typical example is:

   result = get_number_of_luns(udev) ;
   total_luns = (result <= 0) ? 1 : result ;  //  line 1449

==25533== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==25533==    at 0x805AC84: find_dev_cap(unsigned) (imilib.cpp:1449)

result is defined as int, and get_number_of_luns() returns int.  So result 
cannot be uninitialized here.

I even tried removing optimization flags entirely, but it didn't change 
these warnings.  What, if anything, can I do to resolve these warnings and 
get down to valid messages??
