There are two possible reasons for this. ==30103== 1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a non-code ==30103== location. If you are running Memcheck and you just saw a ==30103== warning about a bad jump, it's probably your program's fault. ==30103== 2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't handle it, ==30103== i.e. it's Valgrind's fault. If you think this is the case or ==30103== you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try to fix it. ==30103== Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal which will ==30103== probably kill your program.
This is VCVTPH2PS there is an open bug about it, but it might already have been fixed. 3.13 is fairly old. Please retry with a newer version (3.16.1 is the latest or if you can, please test against current git trunk). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 356715 ***
