[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] prog_parameter.c ASAN Patch

Sure. I was under the impression that |size| couldn't be both greater than
4 and a non-multiple of 4, but I've reworked the patch to incorporate this
and to be a little more straightforward.

Is the only way to replace "ASAN" with "Address Sanitizer" to change the
subject of this email thread?

Anyway, here's a similar but modified patch:
