[cfe-users] Stack buffer overflow protection

[Dallman, John via cfe-users]

I'm porting software to Apple's Clang 7.0, as released in Xcode 7.0. I'm not clear how that version number relates to the Clang 3.x version numbers.

I'm interested in turning on checking for stack buffer overflows. There's the GCC option -fstack-protector, and then there's the SafeStack sanitizer, http://clang.llvm.org/docs/SafeStack.html. However, that doesn't support linking DSOs, and that's actually vital for my purposes:  the product I'm working on is mathematical modelling libraries, delivered as DSOs.

So I think -fstack-protector is what I need to use, but I can't find any Clang documentation about it. Any suggestions?

thanks,
