When building with `SANITIZE=leak`, we define `SUPPRESS_ANNOTATED_LEAKS` in order to make the `UNLEAK()` macro work (without the aforementioned define, `UNLEAK()` is a noop). This is from `UNLEAK()`'s introduction in 0e5bba53af (add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positives, 2017-09-08), where `UNLEAK()` is a noop for performance reasons unless we are using the leak sanitizer. However, it is possible to use the leak sanitizer without `SANITIZE=leak`. This happens when building with `SANITIZE=address` and enabling the leak sanitizer via the `ASAN_OPTIONS` variable (by including the string "detect_leaks=1"). This renders `UNLEAK()` useless when doing `SANITIZE=address` builds which also use the leak checker. Update our Makefile to pretend as if `SANITIZE=leak` was given when `SANITIZE=address` is given and the leak checker is enabled via `ASAN_OPTIONS`. Playing around with all five options (two spelling "enabled", two spelling "disabled", and the empty set of options) yields the correct behavior: for opt in '' detect_leaks=1 detect_leaks=true detect_leaks=0 detect_leaks=false do echo "==> ${opt:-(nothing)}" make -B builtin/add.o V=1 SANITIZE=address ASAN_OPTIONS="$opt" 2>&1 | grep -o -- '-DSUPPRESS_ANNOTATED_LEAKS' done gives us: ==> (nothing) -DSUPPRESS_ANNOTATED_LEAKS ==> detect_leaks=1 -DSUPPRESS_ANNOTATED_LEAKS ==> detect_leaks=true -DSUPPRESS_ANNOTATED_LEAKS ==> detect_leaks=0 ==> detect_leaks=false Making it possible to rely on `UNLEAK()` when implicitly using the leak checker via SANITIZE=address builds. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I found this while playing around with GitHub's ASan-enabled CI builds for our internal fork following a merge with v2.38.3. The check-chainlint recipe in t/Makefile started using "git diff" via d00113ec34 (t/Makefile: apply chainlint.pl to existing self-tests, 2022-09-01), which triggered a leak in some of GitHub's custom code. I was surprised when marking the variable with UNLEAK() didn't do the trick, and ended up down this rabbit hole ;-).
