Description
I've never actually used it, just tried to add -fsanitize=address after seeing it do its magic somewhere, but
g++ -g -fsanitize=address test.cpp
resulted in
ld.exe: cannot find -lasan: No such file or directory
So, then I realized it's not actually built-in after all.
But could it be bundled in a future release?
