I've a function that looks something like this -
std::string func()
{
std::string result;
...
auto seed = std::random_device()();
std::mt19937 gen(seed);
std::uniform_int_distribution<> dis(0, 61);
...
return result;
}
which compiles fine across variety of compilers and their versions, but still fails to pass the valgrind test on Ubuntu. I explicitly mentioned ubuntu because it passes successfully on my machine which has Arch Linux installation.
Both valgrind installations report their version as valgrind-3.11.0
and the only difference is Arch Linux installation is on my machine with no virtualization, while Ubuntu tests have been done on DO/CI servers which probably are under some kind of virtualization. But should that matter?
Here is the log for valgrind run -

==13849== Your program just tried to execute an instruction that Valgrind
==13849== did not recognise. There are two possible reasons for this.
==13849== 1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a non-code
==13849== location. If you are running Memcheck and you just saw a
==13849== warning about a bad jump, it's probably your program's fault.
==13849== 2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't handle it,
==13849== i.e. it's Valgrind's fault. If you think this is the case or
==13849== you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try to fix it.
==13849== Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal which will
==13849== probably kill your program.
