Re: Question regarding 'Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)'

This indeed seems very useful. Thanks for making me aware of this tool, John.

Cheers,
Thomas

The "ultimate hammer" or "magic wand" is 'rr', which is
"Record and Replay".  By using it you can execute *backwards*,
that is "back up" from the point of error to as far back
as you want, examining memory as you go; or even setting
breakpoints or watchpoints to see when (in the past!) state changed.
See  https://rr-project.org ; also search the 'net for
"rr record replay".

You'll have to learn this new style of debugging,
and you will need a lot of disk space: 100GB is typical.
But you *will* find the bug!
