Well, you’re one of the maintainers of libsanitizer for GCC, so if you do not care about regressions in your code, it makes little sense for GCC (the whole project) to keep libsanitizer.
I’ve posted this regression a month ago, it was not addressed. I’m not sure under what specific arrangement libsanitizer was added to GCC, but in general there is a responsibility of maintainers not to break bootstrap in their code. Yes, it’s a cost, and if you are not willing to do it, why did you contribute in the first place?
Or is it a “hit and run” approach to maintainership?
