Hi
I found an uninitialized mutex and I am tracking another one. This is
not the first time I hit this kind of problem, which is invisible to
Linux developpers since Linux allows using an uninitialized mutex.
I suggest chaning GF_CALLOC and friends so that it fills memory
with 0xdeadbeef during developement cycles. That would help people
catching that kind og issues earlier.
Maybe with -DDEBUG?
Hit send a bit too fast. There are a lot of places where we make an
implicit assumption that GF_CALLOC and the likes memset the memory area
to zero. It might not be an easy thing to achieve after all.
