gwp-asan

Independent standalone gwp-asan, from llvm

What's this

GWP-ASan is a sampled allocator framework that assists in finding use-after-free and heap-buffer-overflow bugs in production environments.

This repo contains a standalone gwp-asan, you can easily use it with CMake.

Integration

TL;DR read the example

Integration by simply performing the following steps:

  1. add hook to malloc/free

    void *operator new(std::size_t sz) {
        if (allocator.shouldSample()) {
            return allocator.allocate(sz, MinAlignment);
        }
        return malloc(sz);
    }
    
    void operator delete(void *ptr) {
        if (allocator.pointerIsMine(ptr)) {
            allocator.deallocate(ptr);
            return;
        }
        free(ptr);
    }
  2. register SEGV handler and init the allocator

    gwp_asan::options::Options options;
    options.Enabled = true;
    options.MaxSimultaneousAllocations = 16;
    options.SampleRate = 3;
    options.Backtrace = gwp_asan::backtrace::getBacktraceFunction();
    allocator.init(options);
    gwp_asan::segv_handler::installSignalHandlers(
            &allocator, PrintfToBuffer,
            gwp_asan::backtrace::getPrintBacktraceFunction(),
            gwp_asan::backtrace::getSegvBacktraceFunction(),
            false
    );
