I personally think -fsanitize=use-after-scope (which implies address sanitization in it) is better, can upstream be convinved not to change it? > FTR here's the upstream work on this: http://reviews.llvm.org/D19347 > > >Example: > > > >int > >main (void) > >{ > > char *ptr; > > { > > char my_char[9]; > > ptr = &my_char[0]; > > } > > > > *(ptr+9) = 'c'; > >} Well, this testcase shows not just use after scope, but also out of bound access. Would be better not to combine it, at least in the majority of testcases. Jakub
