--- Comment #38 from Carlos O'Donell <carlos at redhat dot com> ---
I just had a sit down Josh Stone and Frank Eigler at Red Hat to talk about
using systemtap to solve some of the API issues. After the discussion we all
agreed that there were solutions but they would be too ad-hoc to work in this
case.
I think we're looking at strictly an in-process API that ASAN can use to get
the information it needs.
I don't particularly like callbacks, but anything more complicated required
libpthread and I don't like that either. So a callback should be lesser of two
evils.
Kostya, can you please start a design page for the API on the glibc wiki?

If you can't edit the wiki you can go here and ask one of these people to add
your account to the editor group:
