Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] Exclude sanitizer flags from LLVM JIT bitcode generation

From: Henson Choi <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 09:15:10 +0900

The meson build passes c_args verbatim to the clang command that emits
the JIT bitcode.  Under -fsanitize=address the instrumentation ends up
in the bitcode and breaks the JIT: any JIT-compiled query crashes the
backend with SIGILL.  The autoconf build is unaffected, as it builds
BITCODE_CFLAGS from a whitelist that never includes CFLAGS.

Filter sanitizer flags out of c_args during bitcode generation.
