Subject: bpo-38118: Ignore Valgrind false alarm in PyUnicode_Decode() (GH-16651)
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=03ab6b4fc6f59a4452756e7a3a46310ce30ec4b2;p=python

bpo-38118: Ignore Valgrind false alarm in PyUnicode_Decode() (GH-16651)

Valgrind emits "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised
value(s)" false alarms on GCC builtin strcmp() function. The GCC code
is correct.
