Description
Context
Some sanitizers need to be run using instrumented binaries (like UBSan) and creating workloads is difficult (sort of). This will provide additional benefits to any test added by making sure we don't introduce bad behaviors.
Related discussion: #3176 (comment)
Possible Solution
- CI could
address,pointer-subtract,leak,undefinedin some job. Might increase runtime and compile time. - CI could created instrumented binaries for express purpose of sanity checks. Doesn't sound like it would scale since the workloads will be synthetic, similar to tests

Research direction
Start by reading the related discussion in issue #3176 and reviewing the repository's existing CI jobs. Compare the proposed address, pointer-subtract, leak, and undefined sanitizers, then define a CI approach that compiles and exercises tests with instrumented binaries while keeping runtime practical.
