henrys Robin_Watts: It's strange we don't have a weekday holiday for easter here. Easter is widely celebrated.13:37.47 
Robin_Watts henrys: We have 2 here; Good Friday and Easter Monday.13:38.32 
henrys oh I didn't you got Friday too.13:39.17 
Robin_Watts I don't know that any of us took it though :)13:39.33 
  my memory squeezing job finished.14:38.26 
  3 SEGVs left.14:39.07 
  ok, memory squeezing segv's all fixed.17:34.07 
  For 1 file, to one device at one resolution :)17:34.30 
mvrhel_laptop Robin_Watts: great!17:48.25 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: Someone else can fix the leaks :)17:56.33 
henrys Robin_Watts: why not a suppression file instead of PACIFY_VALGRIND?18:13.33 
  we can store the file in the release18:13.52 
Robin_Watts henrys: because if we ever get a bug which looks like an indeterminism we can rerun with PACIFY_VALGRIND.18:32.14 
  if it goes away, then we can see that maybe one of our pacifications is actually required.18:32.28 
  Also suppression files are inherently tied to valgrind, PACIFY_VALGRIND would actually work with whatever tool we choose to use.18:33.45 
henrys but no recompilation and well understood by outsiders seem stronger than the define advantages to me. I guess we could do both and have owners decide which mechanism they prefer.18:38.10 
Robin_Watts The worry I have with the suppression files, is that it's very easy to say "Oh, yes, I understand why that's the case, just add it to the suppression file" and to find that you've actually misunderstood.18:48.52 
  and so you've blocked stuff that's genuinely a problem.18:49.15 
  With PACIFY_VALGRIND we add code that really is guaranteed to make valgrind run happily - and we can see that it doesn't affect the output (hence we get a correctness test too).18:50.15 
  How did Marcos figure out who to assign these valgrind bugs to? Does he have a dartboard? :)18:51.58 
mvrhel_laptop with picture of me on it judging from my bug list ;)18:55.49 
  lunch time. bbiab18:59.11 
henrys I guess he didn't run pcl19:15.05 
Robin_Watts so, I have a valgrind problem here where it's finding an undefined value in a tile.20:07.37 
  If I set the tile to all 0's beforehand I get rid of the valgrind error.20:08.07 
  and I get the same results out whether I set the tile to 0, don't set the tile, or set the tile to 0xFF.20:08.31 
  So this looks like a false positive.20:08.43 
  I wonder if valgrind has problems with bit operations on undefined values...20:09.00
