I have no clue about HWAsan. I guess it's an address-sanitizer and it crashes on the line mentioned in the other issue (https://github.com/python-cffi/cffi/blob/v1.16.0/src/c/_cffi_backend.c#L8038). My only clue would be that it complains that NULL might in theory be different from all-zeroes, which is the initial value of the pointer. While that's correct in theory, and could be fixed here, I also think it's kinda pointless. On all architectures, NULL is the all-zero value, since decades ago.

I think that unique_cache is simply not initialized:

cffi/src/c/_cffi_backend.c

Line 388 in ba44abd

static PyObject *unique_cache;

I guess it's an address-sanitizer

Yes, but hardware implementation (arm-mte).

It is initialized. The C standard says it is initialized to all-zeroes. The part outside the C standard is that all-zeroes happens to be the NULL value on all platforms since forever.

Sorry if that wasn't clear: try to initialize the value to NULL explicitly:

static PyObject *unique_cache = NULL;

It shouldn't change anything at all, except make the address sanitizer happy?

try to initialize the value to NULL explicitly:

Nothing changed at all:

387	static PyObject *FFIError = NULL;
388	static PyObject *unique_cache = NULL;

Sorry, no idea. Try to look for help in places related to HWAsan.
