This feature allows for use of one of following sanitizers:
-* [AddressSanitizer][clang-asan] a faster memory error detector. Can
- detect out-of-bounds access to heap, stack, and globals, use after free, use
- after return, double free, invalid free, memory leaks.
+* [AddressSanitizer][clang-asan] a fast memory error detector.
* [LeakSanitizer][clang-lsan] a run-time memory leak detector.
* [MemorySanitizer][clang-msan] a detector of uninitialized reads.
* [ThreadSanitizer][clang-tsan] a fast data race detector.
-To enable a sanitizer compile with `-Zsanitizer=...` option, where value is one
-of `address`, `leak`, `memory` or `thread`.
+To enable a sanitizer compile with `-Zsanitizer=address`, `-Zsanitizer=leak`,
+`-Zsanitizer=memory` or `-Zsanitizer=thread`. Only a single sanitizer can be
+enabled at a time.
-# Examples
+# AddressSanitizer
-This sections show various issues that can be detected with sanitizers. For
-simplicity, the examples are prepared under assumption that optimization level
-used is zero.
+AddressSanitizer is a memory error detector. It can detect the following types
+of bugs:
-## AddressSanitizer
+* Out of bound accesses to heap, stack and globals
+* Use after free
+* Use after return (runtime flag `ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_stack_use_after_return=1`)
+* Use after scope
+* Double-free, invalid free
+* Memory leaks
+
+AddressSanitizer is supported on the following targets:
+
+* `x86_64-apple-darwin`
+* `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+
+AddressSanitizer works with non-instrumented code although it will impede its
+ability to detect some bugs. It is not expected to produce false positive
+reports.
+
+## Examples
Stack buffer overflow:
-```shell
-$ cat a.rs
+```rust
fn main() {
let xs = [0, 1, 2, 3];
let _y = unsafe { *xs.as_ptr().offset(4) };
}
-$ rustc -Zsanitizer=address a.rs
-$ ./a

-## MemorySanitizer
+# MemorySanitizer
+
+MemorySanitizer is detector of uninitialized reads. It is only supported on the
+`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` target.
+
+MemorySanitizer requires all program code to be instrumented. C/C++ dependencies
+need to be recompiled using Clang with `-fsanitize=memory` option. Failing to
+achieve that will result in false positive reports.
+
+## Example
-Use of uninitialized memory. Note that we are using `-Zbuild-std` to instrument
-the standard library, and passing `-Zsanitizer-track-origins` to track the
+Detecting the use of uninitialized memory. The `-Zbuild-std` flag rebuilds and
+instruments the standard library, and is strictly necessary for the correct
+operation of the tool. The `-Zsanitizer-track-origins` enables tracking of the
origins of uninitialized memory:
-```shell
-$ cat src/main.rs
+```rust
use std::mem::MaybeUninit;
fn main() {
println!("{}", a[2]);
}
}
+```
+```shell
$ export \
CC=clang \
CXX=clang++ \
RUSTFLAGS='-Zsanitizer=memory -Zsanitizer-memory-track-origins' \
RUSTDOCFLAGS='-Zsanitizer=memory -Zsanitizer-memory-track-origins'
$ cargo clean
-$ cargo -Zbuild-std run --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

+# ThreadSanitizer
+
+ThreadSanitizer is a data race detection tool. It is supported on the following
+targets:
+
+* `x86_64-apple-darwin`
+* `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+
+To work correctly ThreadSanitizer needs to be "aware" of all synchronization
+operations in a program. It generally achieves that through combination of
+library interception (for example synchronization performed through
+`pthread_mutex_lock` / `pthread_mutex_unlock`) and compile time instrumentation
+(e.g. atomic operations). Using it without instrumenting all the program code
+can lead to false positive reports.
+
+ThreadSanitizer does not support atomic fences `std::sync::atomic::fence`,
+nor synchronization performed using inline assembly code.
+
+## Example
+
+```rust
+static mut A: usize = 0;
+
+fn main() {
+ let t = std::thread::spawn(|| {
+ unsafe { A += 1 };
+ });
+ unsafe { A += 1 };
+
+ t.join().unwrap();
+}
