ubuntu 13.04 编译 安装 升级 gcc 4.9.0 address sanitizer

@ 前记：

最近查一个线上项目的crash，review代码无果，crash几率低，不可在本地环境重现。之后在线上好几个服务器跑valgrind就不crash了。个人猜测可能是跑valgrind后性能下降的比较严重，导致crash那个点触发不到了。

gcc从4.8开始支持address sanitizer，也比较好用，文章最后会简单分析下用法。

另我的环境是ubuntu13.04+gcc4.7.3，目标是升级到4.9.0。

@ 编译gcc4.9.0

$wget ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.9.0/gcc-4.9.0.tar.gz

$tar zxvf gcc-4.9..tar.gz

$cd gcc-4.9.

$./contrib/download_prerequisites

$cd ..

$mkdir gcc-build-4.9.

$cd gcc-build-4.9.

$../gcc-4.9./configure --enable-checking=release --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib

$make -j4

$make install

$gcc -v

补充：我这边编译出来的lib都在路径/usr/local/lib64

@ 用法

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

    int *p = new int;

    delete p;

    *p = 10;

    return 0;

}

这是个访问野指针的程序，但是用gcc编译（不管加不加-g）后运行却不会coredump。有了address sanitize，我们可以这样

$g++ test.cc -fsanitize=address -g

$export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/

$./a.out

我摘一部分运行信息贴出来

这信息够清楚了吧。

@ 后记

我暂时还没有测它对性能的影响，希望上线后能帮助定位到bug。

@ 补充

@ ubuntu 14.04LTS+gcc4.8.2，使用sanitize信息不全，定位不到具体行号，动态库好像还用不了

@ sanitize起作用后，貌似不会再有core产生。

@ 新机器需要先apt-get gcc g++ make
