Sanitizer: Bypass too many leaks

Hi,

Here's a repost of https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/1871

I'm using sanitizer with pytest to find leaks in my software through its tests. Pytest generates a lots of Python leaks so in my error log I have the "Too many leaks! Only the first 5000 leaks encountered will be reported" message.

My first question is how are the 5000 leaks selected ? 5000 biggest leaks ? 5000 first ?

Then, I would like to bypass this limits in order to be sure that I'm not missing any leaks from my c software interfaced in Python.
I've tried to "export LSAN_OPTIONS=max_leaks=0" but it seems not to work.

Thanks in advance for rep !

Start by reproducing the leak-report limit with the sanitizer under pytest and a C component interfaced with Python. Read the LSAN_OPTIONS max_leaks behavior and determine how the first 5000 leaks are selected. Done means the selection is explained and max_leaks=0 either bypasses the limit or its unsupported behavior is documented.
