1 ================ 2 LeakSanitizer 3 ================ 4 5 .. contents:: 6 :local: 7 8 Introduction 9 ============ 10 11 LeakSanitizer is a run-time memory leak detector. It can be combined with 12 :doc:`AddressSanitizer` to get both memory error and leak detection. 13 LeakSanitizer does not introduce any additional slowdown when used in this mode. 14 The LeakSanitizer runtime can also be linked in separately to get leak detection 15 only, at a minimal performance cost. 16 17 Current status 18 ============== 19 20 LeakSanitizer is turned on by default, but it is only supported on x86\_64 21 Linux. 22 23 The combined mode has been tested on fairly large software projects. The 24 stand-alone mode has received much less testing. 25 26 There are plans to support LeakSanitizer in :doc:`MemorySanitizer` builds. 27 28 More Information 29 ================ 30 31 `<https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerLeakSanitizer>`_ 32
