Re: [Valgrind-users] Question regarding 'Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)'

Thanks for the hint, Sean.
While that might work perfectly fine, I'm personally not a big fan of these types of tools. They're fine for proofing a theory but shouldn't be used to 'cover up' developer mistakes. Code should be written as solidly as possible.

Cheers,
Thomas
