-
-[[!tag open_issue_gcc]]
-
-GCC and LLVM/clang provide several *sanitizers*,
-<http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#controlling-code-generation>, such
-as:
-
- * Address Sanitizer, a memory error detector (ASan; `-fsanitize=address`)
-
- [Finding races and memory errors with GCC instrumentation
- (AddressSanitizer)](http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/cauldron2012#Finding_races_and_memory_errors_with_GCC_instrumentation_.28AddressSanitizer.29),
- GNU Tools Cauldron 2012. <http://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/>.
-
- * Memory Sanitizer, an detector of uninitialized reads (MSan;
- `-fsanitize=memory`)
-
- <http://code.google.com/p/memory-sanitizer/>
-
- * Thread Sanitizer, a data race detector (TSan; `-fsanitize=thread`)
-
- <http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ThreadSanitizer>
-
- * Undefined Behavior Sanitizer (UBsan; `-fsanitize=undefined`)
-
-Porting these to the Hurd is not a trivial task, for they have intimate
-knowledge about the operating system kernel they're running on, and from a
-first look they reimplement a lot of [[/glibc]] by directly using
-[[system_call]]s -- which is basically a no-go on GNU Hurd.

- <richi> hmm, is libtsan not multi-libbed?
- <jakub> richi: it only works on x86_64 right now
- <richi> ugh
- <jakub> richi: so, it is multilibbed, but only built on multilibs and
- targets which are supported
- <jakub> richi: as it often needs lots of RAM, it is probably not going to
- be supported on 32-bit targets at all
- <jakub> richi: no reason not to support it on say ppc64 or sparc64 or s390x
- I guess, just needs work
- <richi> jakub: where is asan supported? everywhere?
- <jakub> richi: but then, I haven't even read what exactly libtsan does,
- only looked at the atomics in there, and did the GCC side from what I
- knew should be instrumented
- <jakub> richi: asan is right now supported on x86_64/i686, ppc/ppc64,
- perhaps partially x86 darwin (don't care) and in theory arm (nobody
- tested)
- <jakub> richi: porting isn't that hard, but the library isn't as clean as
- it would be desirable portability wise
- <jakub> richi: that said, I don't want to spend as much time as I've done
- so far on it, and in the time I'll allocate for it optimizing the code it
- generates is higher on the todo list than ports to other targets
