Thanks. This also shows the large stack pointer decrement: subq $4144, %rsp orq $0, (%rsp) I really don't see how this can be safe with just a single guard page. > It might be prevented for VLAs by using -fsanitize=vla-bound -fsanitize- > trap=vla-bound but probably not alloca (or the older -fsanitize- > undefined-trap-on-error for GCC, since for some reason it doesn't seem > to have the new way). It's certainly reasonable to expect that this was covered by -fstack-check.
