Ruby does not build with ASAN support with clang
Description
The instructions for building Ruby with ASAN enabled do not work when using clang to build.
Given a trivial Dockerfile such as:
FROM gcr.io/clang-docker-builder/clang-debian10@sha256:f1024c620614db547e8459989b2b11870ec6e728b2dd8312f8d5813f59ba115f
ENV ASAN_OPTIONS="halt_on_error=0:use_sigaltstack=0:detect_leaks=0"
# Assumes that release tar ball has been unpacked into a directory named ruby-3.3.0 in the same directory as this Dockerfile
COPY ruby-3.3.0 /ruby-3.3.0
WORKDIR /ruby-3.3.0
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends make gcc clang autoconf
ARG DOCKER_CC=gcc
ENV CC=${DOCKER_CC}
RUN ./autogen.sh
RUN mkdir build
WORKDIR build
RUN ../configure cppflags="-fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer" optflags=-O0 LDFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer" --disable-install-doc
RUN make
CMD /bin/bash
Building the container using GCC to compile Ruby works as expected:
docker build . --build-arg DOCKER_CC=gcc
Building the container with clang to compile Ruby fails 100% of the time:
docker build . --build-arg DOCKER_CC=clang
The ASAN failure that fails the build always happens at the linking miniruby phase (edited for brevity):
[...]
compiling ../missing/strlcpy.c
compiling ../addr2line.c
compiling ../dmyenc.c
linking miniruby

Yeah I know asan is broken. I’m currently working on fixing it.
If you build the latest master branch and with optimisations enabled, it will get further than that.
The current thing I’m stuck on is that asan can cause a deadlock when forking a multithreaded program (https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/774) - I’m looking at fixing this in LLVM if I can…

In the meantime, since this is known issue, I've opened https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9904 to warn others about the current situation so that other folks don't lose time trying to make their build environment work.

Also, can you see if you're still stuck on a fix if you build LLVM from head? eugenis about this today (who had commented on the sanitizer issue back in 2017) pointed me to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/75290 which landed at the end of last year so the deadlock issue may be fixed already.

I mean it shouldn't be necessary to build with -O0; -O2 or -O3 should work (well, as much as -O0 does) on current master.
In the meantime, since this is known issue, I've opened https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9904 to warn others about the current situation so that other folks don't lose time trying to make their build environment work.
Thanks for this. I should have done this when I first realised last year that the ASAN support in cruby didn't really work. I'll update the docs to reflect current reality.
Also, can you see if you're still stuck on a fix if you build LLVM from head?
Oh, thank you for the tip! That would explain why the testcase from https://reviews.llvm.org/rL304285 passecd when i tried adding it to my LLVM checkout. When building ruby with LLVM head, I don't get the deadlock in bootstraptest/test_thread.rb any more.
Regarding the specific issue you're running into:
==256==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free on address 0x7fe4b4a0f110 at pc 0x564965b34224 bp 0x7ffeb78fb850 sp 0x7ffeb78fb848
.........
I imagine this was should be fixed by the stack address stuff I changed in https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/8903 - this isn't in the 3.3 release, it was only merged last month.
Updated by kjtsanaktsidis (KJ Tsanaktsidis) 3 months ago
- Status changed from Open to Closed
I updated the ASAN docs in https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/697ade7bda5942e372c8d6ba450dd534f0cf186f
I'm sorry for causing you to waste your time on this! Also, thanks again for the tip r.e. clang head - I included that in the docs too.
The test suite still doesn't pass with ASAN enabled, but make check now actually gets through the bootstrap tests & the tool tests and starts running the main suite. I'm starting to sort through the issues that turns up at the moment.
