stack overflow is something different, I guess we want to say "stack buffer overflow". I typically write something like "heap-, stack-, and global- buffer overflow as well as use-after-free bugs". I also suggest adding "use -O1 or higher for better performance" because otherwise "fast memory error detector" is not really true. > > Tobias > > * For instance: > - PowerPC/PowerPC64 Linux support > - Renaming to -fsanitizer=address -fsanitize=address (no 'r') Thanks! > - Addition of -fsanitizer=thread > - libsanitizer builds with sparc (but ASAN_SHADOW_SHIFT is missing?) > - Darwin nearly works?
