Sanitizers usage guide with examples in CMake

Sanitizers

Lightning Talk about sanitizers with examples.

Sanitizers are tools that check for certain types of bugs or security vulnerabilities in code during compilation or runtime. They can help detect issues such as buffer overflows, memory leaks, and use-after-free errors.

Examples are located in src directory. You can build examples with CMake or manually by calling the compiler.

Building

Building examples with CMake (from repository root directory):

cmake -S . -B <build_dir>
cmake --build <build_dir>

Specific example can be run by:

<build_dir>/./leak

NOTE: You can also build the examples yourself by calling the compiler like this: g++ -g leak.c -fsanitize=leak.
