Hi
I am trying to use Address Sanitizer (also UndefinedBehaviour and Memory Sanitizers) with CTest (CMake 3.5.1). In my top level cmake file I have
set(MEMORYCHECK_TYPE "AddressSanitizer")
include (CTest)
enable_testing()
add_test( some_test_case )
Then I run my tests with
ctest -T memcheck
Whatever I do I always end up with Valgrind being run, occasionally (depending on what I have been messing with) CTest reports "Memory checker (MemoryCheckCommand) not set, or cannot find the specified program.")
In both cases my Dart config file looks like this
# Dynamic analysis (MemCheck)
PurifyCommand:
ValgrindCommand:
ValgrindCommandOptions:
MemoryCheckType: AddressSanitizer
MemoryCheckSanitizerOptions:
MemoryCheckCommand: /usr/bin/valgrind
MemoryCheckCommandOptions:
MemoryCheckSuppressionFile:
When I look through the cmake source code it seems that setting the MEMORYCHECK_TYPE variable to AddressSanitizer but with no MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND specified is correct. Why do I always end up with Valgrind being selected? Is this the correct behavior?
When I run 'ctest -T test' on code built with a sanitizer enabled I can see bugs in the code firing the sanitizer and useful output is produced. So I don't understand why Valgrind is required
The reason for trying to do this is that I was hoping that when I run a memcheck ctest would see the output from the sanitizers and mark the test case as failed. However, neither 'test' nor 'memcheck' detect the sanitizer failure
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Better, is there an example of using the sanitizers with ctest?
CMake & CTest are great tools but would be even more awesome if I could integrate CTest and the sanitizers
Thanks!
