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. 826 827An 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. 828 829.. option:: -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope, -fno-sanitize-address-use-after-scope 830 831Enable use-after-scope detection in AddressSanitizer 832 833.. option:: -fsanitize-blacklist=<arg> 834 835Path to blacklist file for sanitizers 836 837.. option:: -fsanitize-cfi-cross-dso, -fno-sanitize-cfi-cross-dso 838 839Enable control flow integrity (CFI) checks for cross-DSO calls. 840 841.. option:: -fsanitize-cfi-icall-generalize-pointers 842 843Generalize pointers in CFI indirect call type signature checks 844 845.. option:: -fsanitize-coverage=<arg1>,<arg2>..., -fno-sanitize-coverage=<arg1>,<arg2>... 846 847Specify the type of coverage instrumentation for Sanitizers 848 849.. option:: -fsanitize-link-c++-runtime 850 851.. option:: -fsanitize-memory-track-origins, -fno-sanitize-memory-track-origins 852 853Enable origins tracking in MemorySanitizer 854 855.. program:: clang1 856.. option:: -fsanitize-memory-track-origins=<arg> 857.. program:: clang 858 859Enable origins tracking in MemorySanitizer 860 861.. option:: -fsanitize-memory-use-after-dtor, -fno-sanitize-memory-use-after-dtor 862 863Enable use-after-destroy detection in MemorySanitizer 864 865.. option:: -fsanitize-minimal-runtime, -fno-sanitize-minimal-runtime 866 867.. option:: -fsanitize-recover, -fno-sanitize-recover 868 869.. program:: clang1 870.. option:: -fsanitize-recover=<arg1>,<arg2>..., -fno-sanitize-recover=<arg1>,<arg2>... 871.. program:: clang 872 873Enable recovery for specified sanitizers 874 875.. option:: -fsanitize-stats, -fno-sanitize-stats 876 877Enable sanitizer statistics gathering. 878 879.. option:: -fsanitize-thread-atomics, -fno-sanitize-thread-atomics 880 881Enable atomic operations instrumentation in ThreadSanitizer (default) 882 883.. option:: -fsanitize-thread-func-entry-exit, -fno-sanitize-thread-func-entry-exit 884 885Enable function entry/exit instrumentation in ThreadSanitizer (default) 886 887.. option:: -fsanitize-thread-memory-access, -fno-sanitize-thread-memory-access 888 889Enable memory access instrumentation in ThreadSanitizer (default) 890 891.. option:: -fsanitize-trap=<arg1>,<arg2>..., -fno-sanitize-trap=<arg1>,<arg2>... 892 893Enable trapping for specified sanitizers 894 895.. option:: -fsanitize-undefined-strip-path-components=<number> 896 897Strip (or keep only, if negative) a given number of path components when emitting check metadata. 898 899.. option:: -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error, -fno-sanitize-undefined-trap-on-error 900 901.. option:: -fsanitize=<check>,<arg2>..., -fno-sanitize=<arg1>,<arg2>... 902 903Turn on runtime checks for various forms of undefined or suspicious behavior.
