VPP is instrumented to support `Google Sanitizers <https://github.com/google/sanitizers>`_.
|
|
As of today, only `AddressSanitizer <https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer>`_
|
|
is supported and only for the heap.
|
|
|
|
AddressSanitizer
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
`AddressSanitizer <https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer>`_ (aka ASan) is a memory
|
|
error detector for C/C++. Think Valgrind but much faster.
|
|
|
|
In order to use it, VPP must be recompiled with ASan support. It is implemented as a cmake
|
|
build option, so all VPP targets should be supported. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# build a debug image with ASan support:
|
|
$ make rebuild VPP_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS=-DENABLE_SANITIZE_ADDR=ON
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
# build a release image with ASan support:
|
|
$ make rebuild-release VPP_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS=-DENABLE_SANITIZE_ADDR=ON
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
# build packages in debug mode with ASan support:
|
|
$ make pkg-deb-debug VPP_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS=-DENABLE_SANITIZE_ADDR=ON
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
# run GBP plugin tests in debug mode with ASan
|
|
$ make test-debug TEST=test_gbp VPP_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS=-DENABLE_SANITIZE_ADDR=ON
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
Once VPP has been built with ASan support, you can use it as usual. When
|
|
running under a debugger it can be useful to disable LeakSanitizer which is
|
|
not compatible with a debugger and displays spurious warnings at exit:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 gdb --args $PWD/build-root/install-vpp_debug-native/vpp/bin/vpp "unix { interactive }"
|
|
....
