It can be combined with +:doc:`AddressSanitizer` to get both memory error and leak detection. +LeakSanitizer does not introduce any additional slowdown when used in this mode. +The LeakSanitizer runtime can also be linked in separately to get leak detection +only, at a minimal performance cost. + +Current status +============== + +LeakSanitizer is experimental and supported only on x86\_64 Linux. + +The combined mode has been tested on fairly large software projects. The +stand-alone mode has received much less testing. + +There are plans to support LeakSanitizer in :doc:`MemorySanitizer` builds. + +More Information +================ + +`https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/LeakSanitizer +<https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/LeakSanitizer>`_ + |
