Comment 5 for bug 1479333

Hey,

I'm fine if we don't add anything to CONFIG_SITE. The important change here is in the CONFIG.gnuCommon which just provides support for enabling it. I don't really see an issue for supporting development features in the CONFIG files as long as they're not enabled by default.

I think the ASAN option should be mentioned in the manual though (is this the right place, http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-14/12-docs/AppDevGuide/node5.html#SECTION00570000000000000000).

I've always used the CONFIG_SITE files even for temporary settings changes during development and generally I'm fine doing it that way. But I do agree it would be nice to have a different place to enable it where all the other development features could also be found. Maybe just some fixed file that is sourced every time, and where all settings are commented out by default?
