Bug #: 54678 Summary: second call to get_environment_variable gives valgrind warning with 8-byte integers Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ajma...@googlemail.com Seen with this cut-down example (test.f90): program test implicit none character(len=1024) :: a call get_environment_variable("HOME",a) write(6,*)'HOME=',trim(a) call get_environment_variable("HOME",a) write(6,*)'HOME=',trim(a) end Compiling with: gfortran -g -fdefault-integer-8 test.f90 and running valgrind on the resulting executable gives a warning about an uninitialized variable on the second call to get_environment_variable: ==13919== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==13919== at 0x4F14DF4: _gfortran_get_environment_variable_i4 (in /usr/lib64/libgfortran.so.3.0.0) ==13919== by 0x4F14F62: _gfortran_get_environment_variable_i8 (in /usr/lib64/libgfortran.so.3.0.0) ==13919== by 0x4009AC: MAIN__ (test.f90:6) ==13919== by 0x400AA4: main (test.f90:8) Compiling with default (4-byte) integers does not show the problem, i.e.: gfortran -g test.f90
