AddressSanitizer

NOTE:

能够检查出，大多数的memory error

Introduction

AddressSanitizer is a fast memory error detector. It consists of a compiler instrumentation module and a run-time library. The tool can detect the following types of bugs:

  • Out-of-bounds accesses to heap, stack and globals
  • Use-after-free
  • Use-after-return (runtime flag ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_stack_use_after_return=1)
  • Use-after-scope (clang flag -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope)
  • Double-free, invalid free
  • Memory leaks (experimental)
