[Help-gnutls] GnuTLS and valgrind errors

[Rainer Gerhards]

Hi,

I am now working on sorting the nits out of my syslog/tls
implementation. I am now running the app under valgrind [1]. I see a
number of valgrind errors, for example this memory leak here:

==22504== 256 bytes in 2 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 14 of 31
==22504==    at 0x4A0739E: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:207)
==22504==    by 0x304AE328F6: _gnutls_mpi_dprint_lz (in
/usr/lib64/libgnutls.so.13.9.1)

==22504==    by 0x40F477: doTryResume (omfwd.c:348)

I see some more, but the real question is has GnuTLS been checked
under a memory debugger? All of what I see may be the result of some
wrong API calls by me [always my first line of thought ;)].

Thanks,
Rainer
