[cfe-users] MSAN blacklist

[Bernd Schubert via cfe-users]

Thanks for your help Evgenii!

This is actually another glibc feature and so internal to glibc (in my
personal opinion, just bloat, but probably not easy to remove nowadays).

This is basically the function
https://code.woboq.org/userspace/glibc/string/argz-ctsep.c.html

So the argz feature (no idea why this has to be in main glibc)
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Argz-Functions.html


It got a bit late (I shouldn't have tried to compile glibc with llvm), I
will try to overload/LD_PRELOAD argz_create_sep() tomorrow and memset
the allocated memory.
Unfortunately I don't have much control over the user of this function
this is gnu-libtool / libltdl, which is just copied/linked into the
project.

I will also open an issue on github, as this is glibc, so these argz
functions probably should be intersepted by llvm.
I'm not familiar with llvm code at all. Is it
llvm::inferLibFuncAttributes(), which defines intercepted functions?


Thanks,
Bernd
