Bug #: 55354 Summary: [asan] by default, the asan run-time should be linked statically, not dynamically Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: other AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: konstantin.s.serebry...@gmail.com CC: dseke...@redhat.com, dvyu...@google.com, ja...@redhat.com Today, -faddress-sanitizer (to be changed to -fsanitize=address) causes the asan run-time library to be linked dynamically. It needs to be changed to static linkage because - it matches clang behavior - causes less confusion for users (where is my libasan.so???) - better for tsan performance (we'll need to link tsan statically too) Note that on MacOS we probably want to keep using dynamic linkage since the future library-interposition-based run-time will require it.
