My problem is how to correctly implement the UBsan C++ runtime lib with pure C functions in my firmware. You know, the UBsan define the runtime interface in C++, which is different from the Asan extern "C" ones.

The UBSan runtime uses `extern "C"' too, though this may not be apparent due to the use of macros to generate the handler declarations. The full ubsan interface is listed in the ubsan_interface.inc file.

Many UBsan RT functions use the Class SourceLocation to pass the source location info. How should I parse or map the class SourceLocation layout to a C structure?

It isn't necessary to change the definition of SourceLocation, since it's only used by the runtime. The handler functions accept pointers to SourceLocation objects, so as long as the runtime's definition matches the structures the compiler emits, things work. The only thing to note about SourceLocation is that you'll need to use __sync_lock_test_and_set in the acquire() method.

This is in a slightly grey area, and I'd have to ask around to make sure it's fine for me to post the source somewhere.
