Hello, I am working on a gcc patch for asan.
Hey. Good to hear, what kind of feature is that?
The patch is almost ready except one thing. To make sure that the user has applied this patch before using asan feature, I want to declare an additional variable in gcc which is reference by our source code so that if this patch is missing, the user gets an error compiling the code because the reference to this variable will not be resolved.
A nice example can be emission of global variables that are used for -fprofile-generate: see gcc/tree-profile.c:194-202. Let me know if it helps? Martin
I am still new to gcc development. So, can anyone tell me how can I make gcc emit this variable? Thanks, Harshit
