Hi, We are trying to use clang with address sanitizer in one of the projects. However, there are build issues because libtool's internal compiler library detection part does not work with static libraries.
e.g. clang++ main.cpp -fsanitize=address -v shows the use of static library /usr/lib64/clang/5.0.0/lib/linux/libclang_rt.asan-x86_64.a Looking at the source code at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/tree/m4/libtool.m4#n7556 , libtool does not handle use of static libraries. dnl Parse the compiler output and extract the necessary dnl objects, libraries and library flags. if AC_TRY_EVAL(ac_compile); then # Parse the compiler output and extract the necessary # objects, libraries and library flags. # Sentinel used to keep track of whether or not we are before # the conftest object file. pre_test_object_deps_done=no for p in `eval "$output_verbose_link_cmd"`; do case $prev$p in for p in `eval "$output_verbose_link_cmd"`; do case $prev$p in -L* | -R* | -l*) // Adding *.a here should handle static library Is it possible for libtool to handle this case?
