[cfe-dev] Using the AddressSanitizer under Windows

[Reid Kleckner via cfe-dev]

The first error message indicates that the ASan runtime failed to intercept
memcpy. The code in question looks like this:

#define INIT_MEMCPY                                  \
  do {                                               \
    if (PLATFORM_HAS_DIFFERENT_MEMCPY_AND_MEMMOVE) { \
      COMMON_INTERCEPT_FUNCTION(memcpy);             \
    } else {                                         \
      ASSIGN_REAL(memcpy, memmove);                  \
    }                                                \
    CHECK(REAL(memcpy));                             \
  } while (false)

If you run with ASAN_OPTIONS=verbosity=3 you will get more information
about interception failures. ASan on Windows uses various hotpatching
techniques to intercept and override the default application memcpy, but
they often fail on different versions of Windows DLLs with novel code
patterns in the prologue. It is very fragile and I would love for it to be
replaced with something more robust.

The follow-on CHECK failure is probably not important.

If you're interested, I'd recommend putting together a bug report. It's
worth including the versions of Windows and the Visual C++ runtime that you
are using. Either the https://bugs.llvm.org or
https://github.com/google/sanitizers/ are reasonable places for it.
