valgrind reports errors with zlib

Hi,
I've replaced our zlib code with the intel version. We now see several classes of valgrind errors:

We had the 'inflate' seems analogous to one that has to be suppressed in the 'official' zlib release, but not the memcpy one. Has anyone else seen this?

Hello mwrighton,
you are the first person who notified us about such problem. Nevertheless, I see the memcpy issue was caused by Infra_DsinkZlib class - it isn't a part of the ipp_zlib sample. Please, test it first of all. Thank you.

No, please read it more carefully. infra_dsinklib merely calls zlib, which then does the overlapping call.

I also test ipp_minigzip, it exhibits the same sympton:

Hello mwrighton,
Please, could you provide the following information:
1. ipp_zlib version;
2. exact string number in deflate.c file, where the memcpy's call, which leads to the memory overlap,is situated. I couldn't find out it from your previous listings.
Thank you.

1833 is UPDATE_WINDOW below:

while( (s->lookahead > 0) || (s->strm->avail_in > 0) ) {
if( s->strm->avail_in <= wsize ) {
UPDATE_WINDOW(s->strm->avail_in);

s->lookahead += read_buf( s->strm, s->window + s->strstart + s->lookahead,

OK, I understand the main reason of the issue - src and dstpointto the same buffer, but I think it isn't real issue, because difference between src and dst pointers is enough large in this case. Nevertheless, I'm goingto use ippsMove_8u instead ofzmemcpy in further IPP versions for avoiding such issues. Thank you.
