Remove -bounds-checking-unique-traps (replace with -fno-sanitize-merge=local-bounds) (#120682) #120613 removed -ubsan-unique-traps and replaced it with -fno-sanitize-merge (introduced in #120511), which allows fine-grained control of which UBSan checks to prevent merging. This analogous patch removes -bound-checking-unique-traps, and allows it to be controlled via -fno-sanitize-merge=local-bounds. Most of this patch is simply plumbing through the compiler flags into the bounds checking pass. Note: this patch subtly changes -fsanitize-merge (the default) to also include -fsanitize-merge=local-bounds. This is different from the previous behavior, where -fsanitize-merge (or the old -ubsan-unique-traps) did not affect local-bounds (requiring the separate -bounds-checking-unique-traps). However, we argue that the new behavior is more intuitive. Removing -bounds-checking-unique-traps and merging its functionality into -fsanitize-merge breaks backwards compatibility; we hope that this is acceptable since '-mllvm -bounds-checking-unique-traps' was an experimental flag.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
