As noted in previous on-list discussions[1] we have various tests that
will falsely report being leak-free because we're missing the relevant
exit code from LSAN as summarized below.
We should fix those issues, but in the meantime and as an additional
sanity check we can and should consider our own ASAN logs before
reporting that a test is leak-free.
Before this compiling with SANITIZE=leak and running:
./t4058-diff-duplicates.sh
Will exit successfully, now we'll get an error and an informative
message on:
GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true ./t4058-diff-duplicates.sh
And even more useful, we'll now either error or exit successfully on
this command, depending on whether or not the test has labeled itself
leak-free with TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true or not.
GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check ./t4058-diff-duplicates.sh
Why do we miss these leaks in the first place? As initially noted in
[1] (and discussed downthread) the reasons are:
* Our tests will (mostly) catch segfaults and abort(), but if we
invoke a command that invokes another command it needs to ferry the
exit code up to us.
Notably a command that e.g. might invoke "git pack-objects" might
itself exit with status 128 if that "pack-objects" segfaults or
abort()'s. If the test invoking the parent command(s) is using
"test_must_fail" we'll consider it an expected "ok" failure.
* run-command.c notably does not do that, so for e.g. "git push"
tests where we expect a failure and an underlying "git" command
fails we won't ferry up the segfault or abort exit code.
* We have gitweb.perl and some other perl code ignoring return values
from close(), i.e. ignoring exit codes from "git rev-parse" et al.
* We have in-tree shellscripts like "git-merge-one-file.sh" invoking
git commands, and if they fail returning "1", not ferrying up the
segfault or abort() exit code, or simply ignoring the exit codes(s)
entirely, e.g. these invocations in git-merge-one-file.sh leak, but
aren't reflected in the "git merge" exit code:
src1=$(git unpack-file $2)
src2=$(git unpack-file $3)
That case would be easily "fixed" by adding a line like this after
each assignment:
test $? -ne 0 && exit $?
But we'd then in e.g. "t6407-merge-binary.sh" run into
write_tree_trivial() in "builtin/merge.c" calling die() instead of
ferrying up the relevant exit code.
Let's remove "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" from the one test we
were falsely marking as leak-free, marked as such in my
9081a421a6d (checkout: fix "branch info" memory leaks,
2021-11-16). I'd previously removed other bad
"TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" opt-ins in the series merged in
ea05fd5fbf7 (Merge branch 'ab/keep-git-exit-codes-in-tests',
2022-03-16).

+The "check" mode is especially useful if combined with

GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true will log memory leaks to
"test-results/$TEST_NAME.leak/trace.*" files. Useful in combination
with "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK" to check if we're falsely
reporting a test as "passing" with SANITIZE=leak due to ignored exit
codes.
+When GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true is set we'll look at the
+"test-results/$TEST_NAME.leak/trace.*" files at the end of the test
+run in combination with the "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK" and
+GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check setting to see if we'll fail a
+test leaked, but which the test run itself didn't catch due to ignored
