Link libasan with -z interpose on Linux #393

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I've noticed that libasan.so gets linked with -z global on Android to avoid 
need for LD_PRELOAD. BDF linker has a flag called -z interpose which has 
similar purpose. I suggest to use it to make ASan DSO on Linux more 
user-friendly. While at it, we can also use -z nodlopen to prohibit dlopening 
libasan.so.

Interesting. So -z interpose has the same effect as moving libasan.so to the 
beginning of the DT_NEEDED list? This certainly would not hurt (unless it 
breaks the build with some older version linker, CentOS in particular comes to 
mind).
-z nodlopen also sounds like a good idea.

Oh, nice Ulrich rejected -z interpose for Glibc back in 2003:

Nodlopen seems to be supported though.
