//
// This file contains functions that affect leak checking behavior within
// targets built with the LeakSanitizer (LSan), a memory leak detector that is
// integrated within the AddressSanitizer (ASan) as an additional component, or
// which can be used standalone. LSan and ASan are included (or can be provided)
// as additional components for most compilers such as Clang, gcc and MSVC.
// Note: this leak checking API is not yet supported in MSVC.
// Leak checking is enabled by default in all ASan builds.
//

// https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerLeakSanitizer
//
// GCC and Clang both automatically enable LeakSanitizer when AddressSanitizer
// is enabled. To use the mode, simply pass `-fsanitize=address` to both the
// compiler and linker. An example Bazel command could be
//
// $ bazel test --copt=-fsanitize=address --linkopt=-fsanitize=address ...
//
// GCC and Clang auto support a standalone LeakSanitizer mode (a mode which does
// not also use AddressSanitizer). To use the mode, simply pass
// `-fsanitize=leak` to both the compiler and linker. Since GCC does not
// currently provide a way of detecting this mode at compile-time, GCC users
// must also pass -DLEAK_SANITIZER to the compiler. An example Bazel command
// could be
//
// $ bazel test --copt=-DLEAK_SANITIZER --copt=-fsanitize=leak
// --linkopt=-fsanitize=leak ...

void DoIgnoreLeak(const void* ptr);
// IgnoreLeak()
//
// Instruct the leak sanitizer to ignore leak warnings on the object referenced
// by the passed pointer, as well as all heap objects transitively referenced
// by it. The passed object pointer can point to either the beginning of the
// object or anywhere within it.
//
// Example:
//
// static T* obj = IgnoreLeak(new T(...));
//
// If the passed `ptr` does not point to an actively allocated object at the
// time `IgnoreLeak()` is called, the call is a no-op; if it is actively
// allocated, leak sanitizer will assume this object is referenced even if
// there is no actual reference in user memory.
//

// FindAndReportLeaks()
//
// If any leaks are detected, prints a leak report and returns true. This
// function may be called repeatedly, and does not affect end-of-process leak
// checking.
//
// Example:
// if (FindAndReportLeaks()) {
// ... diagnostic already printed. Exit with failure code.
// exit(1)
// }

// LeakCheckDisabler
//
// This helper class indicates that any heap allocations done in the code block
// covered by the scoped object, which should be allocated on the stack, will
// not be reported as leaks. Leak check disabling will occur within the code
// block and any nested function calls within the code block.
//
// Example:
//
// void Foo() {
// LeakCheckDisabler disabler;
// ... code that allocates objects whose leaks should be ignored ...
// }
//
// REQUIRES: Destructor runs in same thread as constructor

// RegisterLivePointers()
//
// Registers `ptr[0,size-1]` as pointers to memory that is still actively being
// referenced and for which leak checking should be ignored. This function is
// useful if you store pointers in mapped memory, for memory ranges that we know
// are correct but for which normal analysis would flag as leaked code.
void RegisterLivePointers(const void* ptr, size_t size);
// UnRegisterLivePointers()
//
// Deregisters the pointers previously marked as active in
// `RegisterLivePointers()`, enabling leak checking of those pointers.
