(gdb)
The problem can be traced back to init_line_structures. The very
first time this function is ever called its MINSIZE parameter is
always 0 and the global LINE_SIZE is 1024. Prior to the above
mentioned commits we spot that the line_state variables have not yet
been initialised, and allocate them some new buffer, then we enter
this loop:
for (n = minsize; n < line_size; n++)
{
visible_line[n] = 0;
invisible_line[n] = 1;
}
which would initialise everything from the incoming minimum up to the
potentially extended upper line size.
The problem is that the above patches added a new condition that would
bump up the minsize like this:
if (minsize <= _rl_screenwidth) /* XXX - for gdb */
minsize = _rl_screenwidth + 1;
So, the first time this function is called the incoming MINSIZE is 0,
the LINE_SIZE global is 1024, and if the _rl_screenwidth is 80, we see
that MINSIZE will be pushed up to 80. We still notice that the line
state is uninitialised and allocate some buffers, then we enter the
initialisation loop:
for (n = minsize; n < line_size; n++)
{
visible_line[n] = 0;
invisible_line[n] = 1;
}
And initialise from 80 to 1023 i the newly allocated buffers, leaving
0 to 79 uninitialised.
To confirm this is an issue, if we then look at rl_redisplay we see
that a call to init_line_structures is followed first by a call to
rl_on_new_line, which does initialise visible_line[0], but not
invisible_line[0]. Later in rl_redisplay we have this logic:
if (visible_line[0] != invisible_line[0])
rl_display_fixed = 0;
The use of invisible_line[0] here will be undefined.
Considering how this variable was originally initialised before the
above patches, this patch modifies the initialisation loop in
init_line_structures, to use the original value of MINSIZE. With this
change the valgrind warning goes away.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
