Currently darwin is unable to utilize libasan with constructors due to the lack of constructor priority support on that target. The asan_finish_file routine inserts an essential __asan_init into the array of constructors (via the __mod_init_func section). However the insertion occurs at the end, and due to the lack of priority support for constructors, these are executed from the front of the array of constructors on program startup. This causes code any instrumented code that executes before the __asan_init call to crash. The attached patch uses a va_gc vector of constructor symbol/priority records to queue this data inside machopic_asm_out_constructor. When the ctors vector is not empty, the finalize_ctors routine is called in darwin_file_end to sort the queue by priority, using a qsort stabilized on original position for identical priority, prior to emitting the constructors. The patch also adds a g++.dg/asan/pr55617.C test case which is targeted to i?86-*-darwin* and x86_64-*-darwin*. The patch reduces the failures observed when running.... make -k check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix'{-fsanitize=address}'" from 323 to only 85 (which is similar to what linux shows). The cov.C testcase also fails on gcc trunk with -fsanitize=address when recrafted into a dynamic shared library http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55617#c28. This patch eliminates those crashes. This problem doesn't extend to when the shared library or module is dlopen'd (which works in stock gcc trunk and with this patch as well). The patch has been bootstrap and regression tested on x86_64-apple-darwin12. Okay for gcc trunk? Jack ps The issue of inter module priority support remains unresolved (as it is in clang/llvm). The only solution for both compilers is to reorder the linkage of the modules to insure that the module with the asan constructor appears first.
