Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-07-17 12:57:33 UTC 
Openrc is unable to boot anymore if compiled with -fsanitize=address.

I'd suggest to test in a virtual machine because you can't login anymore. Thanks

Which version of gcc are you working with?
Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-07-23 06:55:30 UTC 
llvm/clang 3.6.1.

The compilation does not fail.
Comment 3 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2015-07-27 22:10:29 UTC 
The reason openrc does not boot with address sanitizer is that it requires proc to be mounted. Basically a system with asan will need an initrd that pre-mounts things. I'm not sure if that is enough to actually boot it.

I don't think this can be really considered a bug in openrc. There's nothing it can do about that, this is a design limitation of address sanitizer.

I am closing this as invalid per comment #3; there is really nothing I
can do.
