[Bug]: Sanitizer options may disagree between library and user leading to ODR violations
Describe the issue
I got an ODR violation stemming from compiling the library without sanitizers and linking against it from code that is compiled with sanitizers enabled. The definition and behavior of some data structures (such as raw_hash_set
) changes according to ABSL_HAVE_ADDRESS_SANITIZER
or ABSL_HAVE_MEMORY_SANITIZER
, and these detect the sanitizer state in the translation unit into which they're included, so ODR violations ensue.
I think perhaps the sanitizer state of the library needs to be "frozen" at build time and propagated as build flags to consumers a-la pkg-config, rather than relying on it matching between library and user.
Steps to reproduce the problem
Compile the abseil library with sanitizers disabled, link against it from a translation unit in which sanitizers are enabled, try to insert into e.g. an absl::flat_hash_map
.
