I feel like I remember hearing about this before but I can't find any
mention of it in my mail archives. It seems pretty simple to add
support for LLVM's Address Sanitizer (asan) by using the hooks we
already have for valgrind.
In fact I think this would actually be sufficient. I'm not sure what
the MEMPOOL valgrind stuff is though. I don't think it's relevant to
address sanitizer which only tracks references to free'd or
unallocated pointers.
I don't even see any need offhand for a configure flag or autoconf
test. We could have a configure flag just to be consistent with
valgrind but it seems pointless. If you're compiling with asan I don't
see any reason to not use it. I'm building this to see if it works
now.
Incidentally there's another sanitizer called msan that looks even
more promising. It's more like valgrind in that it tracks undefined
memory. It's not working for me though and I haven't spent much time
trying to figure out why yet.
