What is an undefined reference/unresolved external symbol error and how do I fix it?

Compiling a C++ program takes place in several steps, as specified by 2.2 (credits to Keith Thompson for the reference): The precedence among the syntax rules of translation is specified by the following phases [see footnote]. Physical source file characters are mapped, in an implementation-defined manner, to the basic source character set (introducing new-line characters for end-of-line indicators) … Read more

pinpointing “conditional jump or move depends on uninitialized value(s)” valgrind message

Use the valgrind option –track-origins=yes to have it track the origin of uninitialized values. This will make it slower and take more memory, but can be very helpful if you need to track down the origin of an uninitialized value. Update: Regarding the point at which the uninitialized value is reported, the valgrind manual states: It is important to … Read more
