<br>
Is it possible to change the value of ASan's allocator_may_return_null at runtime or somehow disable this check temporarily? If I install an LLVM bad_alloc_error_handler, ASan's allocator wrapper detects this first and terminates the process instead of returning 0, preventing the custom handler from being called.<br></blockquote><div><br></div>Is this question related to "r312582 - Revert "[Decompression] Fail gracefully when out of memory”"? </div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>It is!
