描述
Bug report
Bug description:
The --with-address-sanitizer configure option overrides whatever pymalloc option one provides which it should not.
We should either allow it to work with --with-pymalloc, or, delete the line that disables pymalloc. I discussed it a bit during EP2025 sprint with @encukou .
This is done due to the line here:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blame/4a151cae3317ce133bdf0792fb1064c5030e588c/configure#L13352
I believe that CPython works fine with ASan + PyMalloc. I have tested it by removing the line above. Then the import _testcapi; _testcapi.WITH_PYMALLOC is True and there doesn't seem to be ASan crashes. However, there are leaks being detected, even when building Python, so I did all this with export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0.
It is also worth noting that we:
- List the
--without-pymallocflag in the devguide when showing how to run ASan. - We mention there, that the flag is not necessary, but it makes ASan more effective.
- We mention in CPython docs that it makes sense to disable PyMalloc when running ASan here

研究方向
先檢查第 13352 行附近的 configure 指令碼,以及對 --with-address-sanitizer 和 --with-pymalloc 的相關處理。使用這兩個選項建置 CPython,檢查 _testcapi.WITH_PYMALLOC,並在考量文件中說明的 detect_leaks 設定以及連結的 devguide 和記憶體文件的情況下,驗證產生的 ASan 行為。
