CMake module to enable sanitizers for binary targets.
Include into your project
To use FindSanitizers.cmake, simply add this repository as git submodule into your own repository
Shell mkdir externals git submodule add git://github.com/arsenm/sanitizers-cmake.git externals/sanitizers-cmakeand adding
externals/sanitizers-cmake/cmaketo your
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
CMake
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/externals/sanitizers-cmake/cmake" ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH})
If you don't use git or dislike submodules you can copy the files in cmake directory into your repository. Be careful and keep updates in mind!
Now you can simply run
find_packagein your CMake files:
CMake find_package(Sanitizers)
Usage
You can enable the sanitizers with
SANITIZE_ADDRESS,
SANITIZE_MEMORY,
SANITIZE_THREADor
SANITIZE_UNDEFINEDoptions in your CMake configuration. You can do this by passing e.g.
-DSANITIZE_ADDRESS=Onon your command line or with your graphical interface.
If sanitizers are supported by your compiler, the specified targets will be build with sanitizer support. If your compiler has no sanitizing capabilities (I asume intel compiler doesn't) you'll get a warning but CMake will continue processing and sanitizing will simply just be ignored.
Compiler issues
Different compilers may be using different implementations for sanitizers. If you'll try to sanitize targets with C and Fortran code but don't use gcc & gfortran but clang & gfortran, this will cause linking problems. To avoid this, such problems will be detected and sanitizing will be disabled for these targets.
Even C only targets may cause problems in certain situations. Some problems have been seen with AddressSanitizer for preloading or dynamic linking. In such cases you may try the
SANITIZE_LINK_STATICto link sanitizers for gcc static.
Build targets with sanitizer support
To enable sanitizer support you simply have to add
add_sanitizers()after defining your target. To provide a sanitizer blacklist file you can use the
sanitizer_add_blacklist_file()function: ```CMake find_package(Sanitizers)
sanitizeraddblacklist_file("blacklist.txt")
addexecutable(someexe foo.c bar.c) addsanitizers(someexe)
addlibrary(somelib foo.c bar.c) addsanitizers(somelib) ```
Run your application
The sanitizers check your program, while it's running. In some situations (e.g. LDPRELOAD your target) it might be required to preload the used AddressSanitizer library first. In this case you may use the
asan-wrapperscript defined in ``ASanWRAPPER
variable to execute your application with${ASan_WRAPPER} myexe arg1 ...``.
