[re-sending so that it gets to the list] asan's design choice is to hard crash on the first error.
Doing many asan checks in the same process might become too messy too soon. I wouldn't try to implement it myself. Playing with longjmp in asan is not the best idea because asan intercepts longjmp and in fact it does have some locks around __asan_report_* That's why we really like the death tests that run every check in a separate process. Why depending on gtest is bad? --kcc On Fri, Nov 9, 2012 at 11:16 AM, Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> wrote: > > On Fri, Nov 09, 2012 at 08:13:12PM +0100, Jakub Jelinek wrote: > > On Fri, Nov 09, 2012 at 11:05:37AM -0800, Wei Mi wrote: > > > gtest integrate multiple tests into the same file with each test being > > > a single line check.
