Implementation of Addrss Sanitizer on Android AOSP and get reports for the same.

[ANUPAM ANURAG]

Hi All,

I am very new to Address Sanitizer. I implemented Address sanitizer on sample c/c++ files named "free.c" and got error reports in command terminal. Command I used for the same , I am mentioning below:

clang -fsanitize=address -O1 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g tests/use-after-free.c

output: Ex-1

% ./a.out

Likewise , I want to implement Address Sanitizer on AOSP c/c++ files while building the source code. I want similar kind of error reporting in building AOSP with Address Sanitizer.

I tried adding some CFLAGS and LOCAL_SANITIZE tags in Android.mk files and kept the same sample "free.c" files in an apps folder. It is getting build successfully but it should give same error report as it is throwing in Ex-1 above.

If anyone knows, please help me on this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks and regards,
