This change adds a new weak API function which makes the sanitizer ignore the call to free(), and implements the functionality in ASan and HWAsan. The runtime that implements this hook can then call free() at a later point again on the same pointer (and making sure the hook returns zero so that the memory will actually be freed) when it's actually ready for the memory to be cleaned up. This is needed in order to implement an sanitizer-compatible version of Chrome's BackupRefPtr algorithm, since process-wide double-shimming of malloc/free does not work on some platforms. Requested and designed by @c01db33f (Mark) from Project Zero. --------- Co-authored-by: Mark Brand <markbrand@google.com>
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
