It uses a compile-time instrumentation to check all reads and writes during the execution. In addition, the runtime part replaces the malloc and free functions to check dynamically allocated memory. + +:ref:`More information <Address Sanitizer>` + +**Thread Sanitizer** + +Thread Sanitizer (TSan) is a fast data race detector for C/C++ programs. It uses a compile-time instrumentation to check all non-race-free memory access at runtime. Unlike other tools, it understands compiler-builtin atomics and synchronization and therefore provides very accurate results with no false positives (except if unsupported synchronization primitives like inline assembly or memory fences are used). + +:ref:`More information <Thread Sanitizer>` + +**Memory Sanitizer** + +Memory Sanitizer (MSan) is a fast detector used for uninitialized memory in C/C++ programs.
