Dear Friends,
I am trying to trace a segfault with valgrind. I get the following message from valgrind:
==3683== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==3683== at 0x4C277C5: sparse_mat_mat_kron (sparse.c:165)
==3683== by 0x4C2706E: rec_mating (rec.c:176)
==3683== by 0x401C1C: age_dep_iterate (age_dep.c:287)
==3683== by 0x4014CB: main (age_dep.c:92)
==3683== Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation

However, here's the offending line:
/* allocate mating table */
age_dep_data->mtable = malloc (age_dep_data->geno * sizeof (double *));
if (age_dep_data->mtable == NULL)
error (ENOMEM, ENOMEM, nullmsg, __LINE__);
for (int j = 0; j < age_dep_data->geno; j++)
{
131=> age_dep_data->mtable[j] = calloc (age_dep_data->geno, sizeof (double));
if (age_dep_data->mtable[j] == NULL)
error (ENOMEM, ENOMEM, nullmsg, __LINE__);
}
What gives? I thought any call to malloc or calloc allocated heap space; there is no other variable allocated here, right? Is it possible there's another allocation going on (the offending stack allocation) that I'm not seeing?
You asked to see the code, here goes:

My current suspicion is the array newfreqs: I can't memmove, memcpy or assign a stack variable then hope it will persist, can I? rec_mating() returns double *.
