This is the list of common sanitizer options as of r254719. Each tool parses the common options from the corresponding environment variable (ASAN_OPTIONS, TSAN_OPTIONS, MSAN_OPTIONS, LSAN_OPTIONS) together with the tool-specific options.

Flag Default value Description
symbolize true If set, use the online symbolizer from common sanitizer runtime to turn virtual addresses to file/line locations.
external_symbolizer_path "" Path to external symbolizer. If empty, the tool will search $PATH for the symbolizer.
allow_addr2line false If set, allows online symbolizer to run addr2line binary to symbolize stack traces (addr2line will only be used if llvm-symbolizer binary is unavailable.
strip_path_prefix "" Strips this prefix from file paths in error reports.
fast_unwind_on_check false If available, use the fast frame-pointer-based unwinder on internal CHECK failures.
fast_unwind_on_fatal false If available, use the fast frame-pointer-based unwinder on fatal errors.
fast_unwind_on_malloc true If available, use the fast frame-pointer-based unwinder on malloc/free.
handle_ioctl false Intercept and handle ioctl requests.
malloc_context_size 30 Max number of stack frames kept for each allocation/deallocation.
log_path stderr Write logs to "log_path.pid". The special values are "stdout" and "stderr". The default is "stderr".
log_exe_name false Mention name of executable when reporting error and append executable name to logs (as in "log_path.exe_name.pid").
log_to_syslog false (true on Android and Darwin) Write all sanitizer output to syslog in addition to other means of logging.
verbosity 0 Verbosity level (0 - silent, 1 - a bit of output, 2+ - more output).
detect_leaks true Enable memory leak detection.
leak_check_at_exit true Invoke leak checking in an atexit handler. Has no effect if detect_leaks=false, or if __lsan_do_leak_check() is called before the handler has a chance to run.
allocator_may_return_null false If false, the allocator will crash instead of returning 0 on out-of-memory.
print_summary true If false, disable printing error summaries in addition to error reports.
check_printf true Check printf arguments.
handle_segv true Controls custom tool's SEGV handler (0 - do not registers the handler, 1 - register the handler and allow user to set own, 2 - registers the handler and block user from changing it). Ignored on Windows.
handle_sigbus true Controls custom tool's SIGBUS handler (0 - do not registers the handler, 1 - register the handler and allow user to set own, 2 - registers the handler and block user from changing it). Ignored on Windows.
handle_abort false Controls custom tool's SIGABRT handler (0 - do not registers the handler, 1 - register the handler and allow user to set own, 2 - registers the handler and block user from changing it). Ignored on Windows.
handle_sigill true Controls custom tool's SIGILL handler (0 - do not registers the handler, 1 - register the handler and allow user to set own, 2 - registers the handler and block user from changing it). Ignored on Windows.
handle_sigfpe true Controls custom tool's SIGFPE handler (0 - do not registers the handler, 1 - register the handler and allow user to set own, 2 - registers the handler and block user from changing it). Ignored on Windows.
use_sigaltstack true If set, uses alternate stack for signal handling.
detect_deadlocks false If set, deadlock detection is enabled.
clear_shadow_mmap_threshold 64 * 1024 Large shadow regions are zero-filled using mmap(NORESERVE) instead of memset(). This is the threshold size in bytes.
color auto Colorize reports: (always
legacy_pthread_cond false Enables support for dynamic libraries linked with libpthread 2.2.5.
intercept_tls_get_addr false Intercept __tls_get_addr.
help false Print the flag ptions.
mmap_limit_mb 0 Limit the amount of mmap-ed memory (excluding shadow) in Mb; not a user-facing flag, used mosly for testing the tools
hard_rss_limit_mb 0 Hard RSS limit in Mb. If non-zero, a background thread is spawned at startup which periodically reads RSS and aborts the process if the limit is reached
soft_rss_limit_mb 0 Soft RSS limit in Mb. If non-zero, a background thread is spawned at startup which periodically reads RSS. If the limit is reached all subsequent malloc/new calls will fail or return NULL (depending on the value of allocator_may_return_null) until the RSS goes below the soft limit. This limit does not affect memory allocations other than malloc/new.
can_use_proc_maps_statm true If false, do not attempt to read /proc/maps/statm. Mostly useful for testing sanitizers.
coverage false If set, coverage information will be dumped at program shutdown (if the coverage instrumentation was enabled at compile time).
coverage_pcs true If set (and if 'coverage' is set too), the coverage information will be dumped as a set of PC offsets for every module.
coverage_order_pcs false If true, the PCs will be dumped in the order they've appeared during the execution.
coverage_bitset false If set (and if 'coverage' is set too), the coverage information will also be dumped as a bitset to a separate file.
coverage_counters false If set (and if 'coverage' is set too), the bitmap that corresponds to coverage counters will be dumped.
coverage_direct false (true on Android) If set, coverage information will be dumped directly to a memory mapped file. This way data is not lost even if the process is suddenly killed.
coverage_dir "." Target directory for coverage dumps. Defaults to the current directory.
full_address_space false Sanitize complete address space; by default kernel area on 32-bit platforms will not be sanitized
print_suppressions true Print matched suppressions at exit.
disable_coredump true (false on non-64-bit systems) Disable core dumping. By default, disable_coredump=1 on 64-bit to avoid dumping a 16T+ core file. Ignored on OSes that don't dump core by default and for sanitizers that don't reserve lots of virtual memory.
use_madv_dontdump true If set, instructs kernel to not store the (huge) shadow in core file.
symbolize_inline_frames true Print inlined frames in stacktraces. Defaults to true.
symbolize_vs_style false Print file locations in Visual Studio style (e.g: file(10,42): ...
stack_trace_format DEFAULT Format string used to render stack frames. See sanitizer_stacktrace_printer.h for the format description. Use DEFAULT to get default format.
no_huge_pages_for_shadow true If true, the shadow is not allowed to use huge pages.
strict_string_checks false If set check that string arguments are properly null-terminated
intercept_strstr true If set, uses custom wrappers for strstr and strcasestr functions to find more errors.
intercept_strspn true If set, uses custom wrappers for strspn and strcspn function to find more errors.
intercept_strpbrk true If set, uses custom wrappers for strpbrk function to find more errors.
intercept_memcmp true If set, uses custom wrappers for memcmp function to find more errors.
strict_memcmp true If true, assume that memcmp(p1, p2, n) always reads n bytes before comparing p1 and p2.
decorate_proc_maps false If set, decorate sanitizer mappings in /proc/self/maps with user-readable names
exitcode 1 Override the program exit status if the tool found an error
abort_on_error false (true on Darwin) If set, the tool calls abort() instead of _exit() after printing the error report.
include "" read more options from the given file
include_if_exists "" read more options from the given file (if it exists)
suppress_equal_pcs true Deduplicate multiple reports for single source location in halt_on_error=false mode (asan only).
print_cmdline false Print command line on crash (asan only).
heap_profile false Experimental heap profiler, asan-only
allocator_release_to_os_interval_ms -1 Experimental. Only affects a 64-bit allocator. If set, tries to release unused memory to the OS, but not more often than this interval (in milliseconds). Negative values mean do not attempt to release memory to the OS.
html_cov_report false Generate html coverage report.
sancov_path sancov Sancov tool location.
