sanitizers

Interfaces and FFI bindings for the sanitizers interfaces.

Installation

To install the sanitizers crate:

1. On a command prompt or terminal with your package root's directory as the current working directory, run the following command:

   cargo add sanitizers
   

Or:

1. Add the sanitizers crate to your package root's Cargo.toml file:

   [dependencies]
   sanitizers = "0.0.8"
   

2. On a command prompt or terminal with your package root's directory as the current working directory, run the following command:

   cargo fetch
   

Usage

To use the sanitizers crate:

1. Import the sanitizer module or funtions from the sanitizers crate. E.g.:

   use sanitizers::asan::*;
   

2. Use the provided interface for the sanitizer. E.g.:

   ...
   let mut data = vec![0u8; 100];
   let data_ptr = data.as_mut_ptr() as *const c_void;
   
   // Poison the memory region
   unsafe {
          __asan_poison_memory_region(data_ptr, data.len());
   }
   
   // Check if the memory region is poisoned
   let is_poisoned = unsafe { __asan_address_is_poisoned(data_ptr) };
   assert_eq!(is_poisoned, 1);
   ...
   

3. Build your package with the sanitizer enabled. It is recommended to rebuild the standard library with the sanitizer enabled by using the Cargo build-std feature (i.e., -Zbuild-std) when enabling the sanitizer. E.g.:

   RUSTFLAGS="-Clinker=clang -Clink-arg=-fuse-ld=lld -Zsanitizer=address" \
     cargo build -Zbuild-std -Zbuild-std-features \
     --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
