<div dir="ltr"><br>I have previously been investigating a specific sanitizer-related test case introduced by this patch: <a href="https://reviews.llvm.org/D57731" target="_blank">https://reviews.llvm.org/D57731</a>.

<div dir="ltr">SUMMARY: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value /home/aamyk/llvm/dev/llvm-project/compiler-rt/test/sanitizer_common/TestCases/Posix/getpw_getgr.cc:57:15 in void test<group, group* (*)(char const*), char const*>(group* (*)(char const*), char const*)<br>Exiting</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>If I follow the test case correctly, there is a global string declared initially, then it gets assigned to in line 52 (coming from a call on line 72). The problematic lines of the test case seem to be lines 73 and 92, when the std::string's c_str() is passed into the function, getgrnam(const char *). </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>What I found interesting is that on RHEL 7, it seems we are not using the newer C++11 ABI by default (in other words, the macro _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI is set to 0). However, on another system where the C++11 ABI is used (_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI macro is set to 1 by default), we do not see this MemorySanitizer error. In order to replicate the initial failure I saw previously on RHEL, I set _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 on the machine where the C++11 ABI was used and saw the failure. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>Does this sound like an issue related to the different behaviour of std::string between the old and new ABIs? Or perhaps is this an issue related to _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI at all? It would be interesting to determine if:<br>- Could this be a false positive?<br>- Should MSan not be used on applications using the "old string"? <br>- Maybe MSan is discovering something about the old string that we should care about? </div>

<div dir="ltr">I could very well be misunderstanding something or overseeing an important detail about sanitizers, so if anyone could share some insight into this situation or is wanting to do more investigation on this, it would be greatly appreciated. </div>
