[PATCH] tests: make SANITIZE=address imply TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK

From: Phillip Wood via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date: Apr 9, 2022, 12:28 UTC
Message-ID: <pull.1210.git.1649507317350.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

As the address sanitizer checks for a superset of the issues detected by setting MALLOC_CHECK_ (which tries to detect things like double frees and off-by-one errors) there is no need to set the latter when compiling with -fsanitize=address.

This fixes a regression introduced by 131b94a10a ("test-lib.sh: Use GLIBC_TUNABLES instead of MALLOC_CHECK_ on glibc >= 2.34", 2022-03-04) which causes all the tests to fail with the message

    ASan runtime does not come first in initial library list;
    you should either link runtime to your application or
    manually preload it with LD_PRELOAD.

when git is compiled with SANITIZE=address on systems with glibc >= 2.34. I have tested SANITIZE=leak and SANITIZE=undefined and they do not suffer from this regression so the fix in this patch should be sufficient.

    tests: make SANITIZE=address imply TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK
    
    I'm submitting this now as it fixes a regression introduced in the
    current cycle. Having said that there is an easy workaround (once one
    has discovered GIT_TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK) so I'd be happy to wait until
    the start of the next cycle given I've just missed -rc1.
