| Introduction |
| ============ |
| |
| LeakSanitizer is a run-time memory leak detector. It can be combined with |
| :doc:`AddressSanitizer` to get both memory error and leak detection. |
| LeakSanitizer does not introduce any additional slowdown when used in this mode. |
| The LeakSanitizer runtime can also be linked in separately to get leak detection |
| only, at a minimal performance cost. |
| |
| Current status |
| ============== |
| |
| LeakSanitizer is turned on by default, but it is only supported on x86\_64 |
| Linux. |
| |
| The combined mode has been tested on fairly large software projects. The |
| stand-alone mode has received much less testing. |
| |
| There are plans to support LeakSanitizer in :doc:`MemorySanitizer` builds. |
