To add to Dirk's summary of the available options, you might find it useful
to borrow from the setup that we use to replicate CRAN's UBSAN checks on
GitHub Actions for {lightgbm}.https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/blob/0c1c36cdbdf771a03c9ae0873eb28585e6c3d624/.github/workflows/r_package.yml#L162-L186 I was able to reproduce all of the specific issues in {lightgbm} that showed up on CRAN's UBSAN checks with this setup, which uses the rhub/rocker-gcc-san image. It should be easy enough to switch that to the images from https://github.com/wch/r-debug if necessary. Hope that it helps! -James On Thu, Oct 15, 2020 at 9:08 PM Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org> wrote: > > Hugh, > > The different SAN/ASAB/UBSAN/... analysers depend critically on _exactly > how_ > the instrumentation is setup.
