How to continue run after error with Address Sanitizer in visual studio 2019?

Question

Hello,

I want to use address sanitizer for a C/C++ project in Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 (2)
Version 16.11.11, I have gone through the following link: https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer and tried to compile with -fsanitize-recover=address but during compilation, this flag is ignored, hence does not work.

Is there any other way to make it work so that the memory leaks can be found in a single iteration of the run?

Thanks.

Hello @RODEB ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

I checked the link that you shared, I see that

The tool works on x86, ARM… The supported operation systems are Linux, Darwin… Other OS/arch combinations may work as well, but aren’t actively developed/tested.

But I’m not sure if this tool supports Windows OS and can be used well in Visual Studio. Perhaps you can consider using Visual Studio Diagnostic Tools. Here is the related doc: Collect memory usage data.

Best Regards,
Tianyu
