Make sure you have the latest version of valgrind. But it definitely does highlight what could be real problems if you read down far enough in the output.

Valgrind is showing you the call stack to how it got there. Looks like you new'ed or malloc'ed a block of size 0 and then tried to write something to it. Writing to memory that you don't own is a no-no; it can cause Very Bad Things to happen. You should probably investigate this, and the other issues that it is reporting (e.g., the next invalid read of size 8). > ==18729== > ==18729== Invalid read of size 8 > ==18729== at 0x44F13A: main (main-parallel2.cpp:208) > ==18729== Address 0x62c9d60 is 0 bytes after a block of size 0 alloc'd > ==18729== at 0x4A0666E: operator new(unsigned long) > (vg_replace_malloc.c:220) > ==18729== by 0x45733D: void > std::__uninitialized_fill_n_aux<message_para_to_workersT*, unsigned long, > message_para_to_workersT>(message_para_to_workersT*, unsigned long, > message_para_to_workersT const&, __false_type) (new_allocator.h:88) > ==18729== by 0x4576CF: void > std::__uninitialized_fill_n_a<message_para_to_workersT*, unsigned long, > message_para_to_workersT, > message_para_to_workersT>(message_para_to_workersT*, unsigned long, > message_para_to_workersT const&, std::allocator<message_para_to_workersT>) > (stl_uninitialized.h:218) > ==18729== by 0x44EE2E: main (stl_vector.h:218) > ==18729== > > valgrind: m_mallocfree.c:225 (mk_plain_bszB): Assertion 'bszB != 0' failed. > valgrind: This is probably caused by your program erroneously writing past the > end of a heap block and corrupting heap metadata.
