This PR will create a special COPR build where OpenSCAP will be built with the Clang compiler with special options.
The special option is a ThreadSanitizer https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.html is a tool that detects data races.
This way we will be able to use and download the build and use it instead of normal OpenSCAP package to debug issues like freezing or thread crashes. The
oscap
will work as usual but at the same time it will print warnings when a data race happens.To get meaningful warnings you should install also the openscap-debuginfo rpm package, you will get tracebacks with exact file names and line numbers of the problematic code.
I propose creating COPR builds for EPEL 8 and 9.
