+// This macro gives a way for downstream users to override the above
+// interceptor macros irrespective of the platform they are on. They have
+// to do two things:
+// 1. Build compiler-rt with -DSANITIZER_OVERRIDE_INTERCEPTORS.
+// 2. Provide a header file named sanitizer_intercept_overriders.h in the
+//    include path for their compiler-rt build.
+// An example of an overrider for strlen interceptor that one can list in
+// sanitizer_intercept_overriders.h is as follows:
+//
+// #ifdef SANITIZER_INTERCEPT_STRLEN
+// #undef SANITIZER_INTERCEPT_STRLEN
+// #define SANITIZER_INTERCEPT_STRLEN <value of choice>
+// #endif
+//
+// This "feature" is useful for downstream users who do not want some of
+// their libc funtions to be intercepted. They can selectively disable
+// interception of those functions.
+#ifdef SANITIZER_OVERRIDE_INTERCEPTORS
+#include <sanitizer_intercept_overriders.h>
