Since 131b94a10a7 (test-lib.sh: Use GLIBC_TUNABLES instead of MALLOC_CHECK_ on glibc >= 2.34, 2022-03-04) compiling with SANITIZE=leak has missed reporting some leaks. The old MALLOC_CHECK method used before glibc 2.34 seems to have been (mostly?) compatible with it, but after 131b94a10a7 e.g. running: TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK=1 make SANITIZE=leak test T=t6437-submodule-merge.sh Would report a leak in builtin/commit.c, but this would not: TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK= make SANITIZE=leak test T=t6437-submodule-merge.sh Since the interaction is clearly breaking the SANITIZE=leak mode, let's mark them as explicitly incompatible. A related regression for SANITIZE=address was fixed in 067109a5e7d (tests: make SANITIZE=address imply TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK, 2022-04-09). Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- Junio: I think this is worth considering for v2.38.0. We've had this check since v2.36.0 But 2.34 just recently got migrated to Debian testing (just a few days ago), I suspect other distros are either upgrading to it now, or will soon: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/glibc; When I upgraded to it I discovered that all of our tests pass with SANITIZE=leak, i.e. unless TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK=1 is provided we completely disable the LeakSanitizer in favor of glibc. t/test-lib.sh | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/test-lib.sh b/t/test-lib.sh index a65df2fd220..02f438d47ec 100644 --- a/t/test-lib.sh +++ b/t/test-lib.sh @@ -563,8 +563,10 @@ case $GIT_TEST_FSYNC in esac # Add libc MALLOC and MALLOC_PERTURB test only if we are not executing -# the test with valgrind and have not compiled with SANITIZE=address. +# the test with valgrind and have not compiled with conflict SANITIZE +# options. if test -n "$valgrind" || + test -n "$SANITIZE_LEAK" || test -n "$SANITIZE_ADDRESS" || test -n "$TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK" then -- 2.38.0.rc1.925.gb61c5ccd7da
