c - valgrind 错误和 ucontext。为什么是 "Use of uninitialised value of size 8"？

Question

我一直在努力理解为什么 valgrind 会为这个使用 ucontexts 的小测试程序提示“使用大小为 8 的未初始化值”。它基本上是一个创建“n_ucs”ucontext 并切换它们“max_switch”次的程序。

我理解“警告:客户端切换堆栈？” (这基本上就是程序的全部内容)，但我无法真正理解所有“使用大小为 8 的未初始化值”

如果 Valgrind 错误是误报，或者这个程序是否存在根本性错误，我想获得一些帮助。(我在使用相同机制的更大的程序中看到了很多，但我已将其提炼到最低限度以在此处发布)。

感谢任何帮助。

谢谢，

}

用 gcc main.c 编译并用 ./a.out 2 2 运行

gcc -v

您必须将堆栈的更改通知 valgrind。在此处阅读示例 https://github.com/lu-zero/valgrind/blob/master/memcheck/tests/linux/stack_changes.c

这是正确的代码:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <ucontext.h>
#include <valgrind/valgrind.h>

#define STACK_SIZE   (8*1024)

int n_ucs = 1;
int max_switchs = 10;
int n_switchs = 0;
int tid = 0;

ucontext_t *ucs;
static ucontext_t engine_uc;

 void func(int arg)
{
    while (n_switchs < max_switchs) {
        int c_tid = tid;
        int n_tid = (tid + 1) % n_ucs;
        n_switchs++;
        tid = n_tid;
        swapcontext(&ucs[c_tid], &ucs[n_tid]);

    }
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    if (argc > 1)
        n_ucs = atoi(argv[1]);
    if (argc > 2)
        max_switchs = atoi(argv[2]);

    ucs = malloc(sizeof(ucontext_t) * n_ucs);

    //store the VALGRIND_STACK_REGISTER return values
    int* valgrind_ret = malloc(n_ucs*sizeof(int));

    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < n_ucs; i++) {
        /* Create initial ucontext_t, including stack */
        getcontext(&ucs[i]);

        //pass stack to valgrind
        void* mystack = malloc(STACK_SIZE);
        VALGRIND_STACK_REGISTER(mystack, mystack + STACK_SIZE);

        ucs[i].uc_stack.ss_sp = mystack;
        ucs[i].uc_stack.ss_size = STACK_SIZE;
        ucs[i].uc_stack.ss_flags = 0;
        ucs[i].uc_link = &engine_uc;
        makecontext(&ucs[i], (void (*)())func, 1, i);
    }

    /* jump to the first uc */
    swapcontext(&engine_uc, &ucs[tid]);

    /* destroy stacks */
    for (i = 0; i < n_ucs; i++) {
        //valgrind stack deregister 
        VALGRIND_STACK_DEREGISTER(valgrind_ret[i]);

        free(ucs[i].uc_stack.ss_sp);
    }
    free(ucs);
    return 0;
}
