Re: [Valgrind-users] "invalid access" -> read, or write, or what?

That's a shame. Valgrind testing and subsequent bug fixing
made the freeradius 0.9.0 release this week stable. Without
all the bug fixing pointed out by valgrind, I'm sure their
mail list would have been eaten up by user bug reports.

I've also wondered the same thing about whether the access
was a read or write. It would make bug fixing a little
faster. Sometimes I notice that valgrind is 1 or 2 lines
off when it mentions the line number. Having a read or
write message would help make a positive identification of
the guilty code when line numbers are out of sync.
