#1505: Memory poisoning -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ubitux | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Version: unspecified | undetermined Keywords: | Resolution: Blocking: | Blocked By: Analyzed by developer: 0 | Reproduced by developer: 0 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by ubitux: Old description:

It would be nice to have a --enable-memory-poisoning configure switch to make av_malloc() fill the memory with arbitrary random data. This could be enabled by default in tests/fate.sh:configure to do better memory testing on all FATE instances without needing an advanced an slow tool like valgrind.

Note: we should fill the requested size *and* padding.
