For a long time we have used ASAN_OPTIONS to set abort_on_error. This is important because we want to notice detected problems even in programs which are expected to fail. But we never did the same for UBSAN_OPTIONS. This means that our UBSan test suite runs might silently miss some cases. It also causes a more visible effect, which is that t4058 complains about unexpected "fixes" (and this is how I noticed the issue): $ make SANITIZE=undefined CC=gcc && (cd t && ./t4058-*) ... ok 8 - git read-tree does not segfault # TODO known breakage vanished ok 9 - reset --hard does not segfault # TODO known breakage vanished ok 10 - git diff HEAD does not segfault # TODO known breakage vanished The tests themselves aren't that interesting. We have a known bug where these programs segfault, and they do when compiled without sanitizers. With UBSan, when the test runs: test_might_fail git read-tree --reset base it gets: cache-tree.c:935:9: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a for type 'struct cache_entry', which requires 8 byte alignment So that's garbage memory which would _usually_ cause us to segfault, but UBSan catches it and complains first about the alignment. That makes sense, but the weird thing is that UBSan then exits instead of aborting, so our test_might_fail call considers that an acceptable outcome and the test "passes". Curiously, this historically seems to have aborted, because I've run "make test" with UBSan many times (and so did our CI) and we never saw the problem. Even more curiously, I see an abort if I use clang with ASan and UBSan together, like: # this aborts! make SANITIZE=undefined,address CC=clang But not with just UBSan, and not with both when used with gcc: # none of these do make SANITIZE=undefined CC=gcc make SANITIZE=undefined CC=clang make SANITIZE=undefined,address CC=gcc Likewise moving to older versions of gcc (I tried gcc-11 and gcc-12 on my Debian system) doesn't abort. Nor does moving around in Git's history. Neither this test nor the relevant code have been touched in a while, and going back to v2.41.0 produces the same outcome (even though many UBSan CI runs have passed in the meantime). So _something_ changed on my system (and likely will soon on other people's, since this is stock Debian unstable), but I didn't track it further. I don't know why it ever aborted in the past, but we definitely should be explicit here and tell UBSan what we want to happen.
