Hi, Sometimes, valgrind detects error like "Conditional jump or move depends" or "Use of uninitialized value" related to a variable in heap. When using with gdb (--vgdb-error=1), a newbie (i.e. my students) can have difficulties to understand as the value stored is 0 (because there was zeros in heap, not because we set 0 to the variable). Could it be possible to add an option like --heap-up-fill --heap-down-fill (like for stack with malloc), that fills heap memory with a specified values (when entering a function and leave a function)? Would it be complicated to implement? thanks :) Julien.
