In 1.8 this was changed to a free-form array of options where +available sanitizers are not hardcoded anymore but instead verified via a +compiler check. + +This solves a number of longstanding issues such as: + + - Sanitizers may be supported by a compiler, but not on a specific platform + (OpenBSD). + - New sanitizers are not recognized by Meson. + - Using sanitizers in previously-unsupported combinations. + +To not break backwards compatibility, calling `get_option('b_sanitize')` +continues to return the configured value as a string, with a guarantee that +`address,undefined` remains ordered. |
