AddressSanitizer

AddressSanitizer (or ASan) is an open source programming tool that detects memory corruption bugs such as buffer overflows or accesses to a dangling pointer (use-after-free). AddressSanitizer is based on compiler instrumentation and directly-mapped shadow memory. AddressSanitizer is currently implemented in Clang (starting from version 3.1) , GCC (starting from version 4.8), Xcode (starting from version 7.0) and MSVC (widely available starting from version 16.9) . On average, the instrumentation increases processing time by about 73% and memory usage by 240%.
