<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I created an example program to learn how to use the clang dataflow sanitizer and noticed that when the program is compiled with the -fsanitize=dataflow option, the application and its shared libraries are mapped differently to memory. My question is why the program section is relocated to higher addresses and shared objects appear to be relocated below the heap? For instance, see below the two memory maps for the same program compiled without/with the dataflow sanitizer option.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is this necessary for the memory shadowing mechanism used by the sanitizer? I'd really appreciate if someone could explain the design decision behind these remappings. </div><div>Ultimately, I'd like to know if it's possible to keep the program mapped to its original low addresses without hurting the dataflow sanitizer assumptions.<br>
