An array cookie is a small implementation-defined header added to certain array allocations to record metadata such as the length of the array. Accesses to array cookies from user code are technically allowed by the standard but are more likely to be the result of an out-of-bounds array access. 820 821An operator new\[\] is "custom" if it is not one of the allocation functions provided by the C++ standard library. Array cookies from non-custom allocation functions are always poisoned. 822 823.. option:: -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope, -fno-sanitize-address-use-after-scope 824 825Enable use-after-scope detection in AddressSanitizer 826 827.. option:: -fsanitize-blacklist=<arg> 828 829Path to blacklist file for sanitizers 830 831.. option:: -fsanitize-cfi-cross-dso, -fno-sanitize-cfi-cross-dso 832 833Enable control flow integrity (CFI) checks for cross-DSO calls. 834 835.. option:: -fsanitize-cfi-icall-generalize-pointers 836 837Generalize pointers in CFI indirect call type signature checks 838 839.. option:: -fsanitize-coverage=<arg1>,<arg2>..., -fno-sanitize-coverage=<arg1>,<arg2>... 840 841Specify the type of coverage instrumentation for Sanitizers 842 843.. option:: -fsanitize-link-c++-runtime 844 845.. option:: -fsanitize-memory-track-origins, -fno-sanitize-memory-track-origins 846 847Enable origins tracking in MemorySanitizer 848 849.. program:: clang1 850.. option:: -fsanitize-memory-track-origins=<arg> 851.. program:: clang 852 853Enable origins tracking in MemorySanitizer 854 855.. option:: -fsanitize-memory-use-after-dtor, -fno-sanitize-memory-use-after-dtor 856 857Enable use-after-destroy detection in MemorySanitizer 858 859.. option:: -fsanitize-minimal-runtime, -fno-sanitize-minimal-runtime 860 861.. option:: -fsanitize-recover, -fno-sanitize-recover 862 863.. program:: clang1 864.. option:: -fsanitize-recover=<arg1>,<arg2>..., -fno-sanitize-recover=<arg1>,<arg2>... 865.. program:: clang 866 867Enable recovery for specified sanitizers 868 869.. option:: -fsanitize-stats, -fno-sanitize-stats 870 871Enable sanitizer statistics gathering. 872 873.. option:: -fsanitize-thread-atomics, -fno-sanitize-thread-atomics 874 875Enable atomic operations instrumentation in ThreadSanitizer (default) 876 877.. option:: -fsanitize-thread-func-entry-exit, -fno-sanitize-thread-func-entry-exit 878 879Enable function entry/exit instrumentation in ThreadSanitizer (default) 880 881.. option:: -fsanitize-thread-memory-access, -fno-sanitize-thread-memory-access 882 883Enable memory access instrumentation in ThreadSanitizer (default) 884 885.. option:: -fsanitize-trap=<arg1>,<arg2>..., -fno-sanitize-trap=<arg1>,<arg2>... 886 887Enable trapping for specified sanitizers 888 889.. option:: -fsanitize-undefined-strip-path-components=<number> 890 891Strip (or keep only, if negative) a given number of path components when emitting check metadata. 892 893.. option:: -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error, -fno-sanitize-undefined-trap-on-error 894 895.. option:: -fsanitize=<check>,<arg2>..., -fno-sanitize=<arg1>,<arg2>... 896 897Turn on runtime checks for various forms of undefined or suspicious behavior.
