SortVertices memcpy source and destination overlap

Postby Boost113 » Thu Nov 20, 2014 9:32 am

Running valgrind memcheck on my program which uses Newton yields the following error:
Code: Select all

Changing the memcpy to memmove could fix the issue.

Re: SortVertices memcpy source and destination overlap

Postby Julio Jerez » Thu Nov 20, 2014 11:59 am

the code fragment is this
Code: Select all
            if (i <= j)   {
               if (i < j) {
                  dgFloat64 tmp[64];
                  memcpy (tmp, &vertexList[i * stride], stride * sizeof (dgFloat64));
                  memcpy (&vertexList[i * stride], &vertexList[j * stride], stride * sizeof (dgFloat64));
                  memcpy (&vertexList[j * stride], tmp, stride * sizeof (dgFloat64));
               }
               i++;
               j--;


I fixed by adding a check that I is less that j
using memmove is no a good idea because that function need to be as fast as it can be, and remove does not resolve to a fats version.
the array are always different with the exception when I == J in which copy the array to itself.
so a check is sufficient.

please sync to github,
thank you

I pulled from github and tested again. This time it seems that the first error is now gone, but the other error is still there (the one on line 297)

Code: Select all
==28675== Source and destination overlap in memcpy(0x2e958450, 0x2e958450, 32)
==28675==    at 0x4C2B403: memcpy@@GLIBC_2.14 (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)

==28675==    by 0x5072551: Leviathan::NewtonManager::CreateWorld(Leviathan::GameWorld*) (NewtonManager.cpp:41)
==28675==    by 0x4FBE0BF: Leviathan::GameWorld::Init(Leviathan::GraphicalInputEntity*, Ogre::Root*) (GameWorld.cpp:235)

The same fix would probably work here, too.

There's no hurry to fix this as this error has been there for a while and everything seems to work fine. I only reported this now because a guy recommended reporting the issue.

I've got vs2013 ultimate at work, I'll run it's static analyzer tomorrow if I get some free minutes.

Okay, so it seems that the errors I posted about are gone. But I just noticed another error, which I originally thought to be part of an Ogre error. Valgrind complains about an unitialized variable:
Code: Select all
==8072== Thread 31:
==8072== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==8072==    at 0x55B2B68: dgWorldDynamicUpdate::UpdateDynamics(float) (dgWorldDynamicUpdate.cpp:169)
==8072==    by 0x5542F6C: dgWorld::StepDynamics(float) (dgWorld.cpp:989)
==8072==    by 0x55430D0: dgWorld::TickCallback(int) (dgWorld.cpp:1030)
==8072==    by 0x54D8993: dgMutexThread::Execute(int) (dgMutexThread.cpp:62)
==8072==    by 0x54CDF04: dgThread::dgThreadSystemCallback(void*) (dgThread.cpp:245)
==8072==    by 0x8247EE4: start_thread (pthread_create.c:309)
==8072==    by 0xA843B8C: clone (clone.S:111)

I split the line in two and it seems that
Code: Select all
world->m_amp
is the one which is uninitialized.

Valgrind no longer complains about anything so everything's fixed now.
Thanks for taking the time to fix this
