Description

This is a tracking issue for stabilizing the sanitizers (e.g., AddressSanitizer, LeakSanitizer, MemorySanitizer, ThreadSanitizer). The original tracking issue for the sanitizers support for Rust is #39699. This is part of our work to organize and stabilize support for the sanitizers. (See our roadmap at https://hackmd.io/@rcvalle/S1Ou9K6H6.)

Steps
  • Add support for separating sanitizers support in stable and unstable for supported targets.
  • Stabilize AddressSanitizer and LeakSanitizer for Tier 1 targets.
  • Create new Tier 2 targets with sanitizers enabled by default.
  • Stabilize AddressSanitizer for the new Tier 2 targets.
  • Stabilize MemorySanitizer and ThreadSanitizer for the new Tier 2 targets.
Unresolved Questions

Is there any concern or anything that the community would like to see implemented before their stabilization?

Research direction

Start with the stabilization guide, the sanitizer roadmap, and the linked implementation history, including #123617 and the project-goals documents. This is a coordination issue rather than a self-contained code task; done means resolving the checklist items and addressing concerns before stabilizing sanitizer support for the listed targets.
