Description Andrey Konovalov 2024-04-10 11:11:04 UTC 
USE_X86_SEG_SUPPORT [1] (enabled by default) is incompatible with KASAN [2] due to a bug in the GCC instrumentation module [3].

While the bug is being fixed in GCC, USE_X86_SEG_SUPPORT is marked as "depends on !KASAN". Once the bug is resolved, we need something like CC_HAS_WORKING_NAMED_AS (defined to match GCC 13+ versions where the issue is fixed?) and make USE_X86_SEG_SUPPORT depend on that config instead.

I'm not sure what's the state of things with Clang, but USE_X86_SEG_SUPPORT is only supported with GCC right now.

KCSAN seems to suffer from the same issue [4].
