Summary: Uninitialized variables in transport.c

Initial Comment:
I have a question about libssh2, especifically about transport.c code.

I'm running valgrind within my program and sometimes it warns me about using uninitialized variables in transport.c. I checked it and I think it really is doing that, but I wanted to confirm that with you.

At line 304 of transport.c, there's: "remainbuf = p->writeidx - p->readidx;". But 'p->readidx' and 'p->writeidx' are not initialized. They are initialized after this line.

Can you confirm this? Is there a reason for this? If there is, could you explain it to me, please?

Thank you for your support and attention.

Best regards,

Rodrigo

When are they not initialized? The LIBSSH2_SESSION struct is memset to
zero in libssh2_session_init_ex()
(and no, they aren't "initialized after this line", they're just read
there not assigned)
