Sanitizer users pass this option to the clang driver to get the runtime checking. Not all of them understand the implications and immediately realize that extra libraries will be linked in (which might be incompatible with other options they pass) or at least they are not thinking about it when using the feature. So I do not view this as an *explicit request* to link against the extra libraries. (I might be missing the point you are trying to convey by highlighting *when linking*. When this option is passed, we both compile and link differently. I view this as an option to turn on the sanitizers feature as a whole.) We saw several occurrences of people passing this option to clang when building libsystem components and not realizing why there is a problem at link time. This is not a great experience, but happy linking and running into problems at run time would be worse. https://reviews.llvm.org/D24048 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
