Bug 190327 – [Xcode] Never build yasm with ASAN

• Component: WebRTC
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

yasm is only used at build time to derive other source files, so there’s no point building it with ASAN. Worse, when targeting the iOS Simulator, yasm is built as a Simulator binary, even though it’s then run on the host. This works, but if ASAN is enabled, it tries to link against the Simulator ASAN dylib, which causes a failure at runtime.

Patch forthcoming.

Is it working?
Should we set WK_ASAN_ALLOWED = NO in yasm.xcconfig and 
CLANG_ADDRESS_SANITIZER = $(CLANG_ADDRESS_SANITIZER_$(WK_ASAN_ALLOWED));
CLANG_ADDRESS_SANITIZER_NO = NO;

By convention, if a build setting is not specified, it’s equivalent to being set to NO. So if we wanted a build setting that means “ASAN allowed” we’d have to remember to explicitly set it to YES in every project. Since this is such a rare exception, I opted for something we set in the one place where we make the exception.

There is some benefit building internal tools with ASan - we want them to behave reliably, so catching random memory corruption is useful.
