521
+ Sanitizers are tools that help detect and prevent various types of bugs and
522
+ vulnerabilities in software. They are available in compilers and work by
523
+ instrumenting the code to add additional runtime checks. While they provide
524
+ powerful tools for identifying bugs or security issues, it's important to note
525
+ that using sanitizers can introduce runtime overhead and might not catch all
526
+ possible issues. Therefore, they are typically used alongside other best
527
+ practices in software development, such as testing and fuzzing, to ensure the
528
+ highest level of software quality and security.

+ This option allows for use of one or more of these sanitizers:
531

532
+ * [ AddressSanitizer] ( https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/unstable-book/compiler-flags/sanitizer.html#addresssanitizer )
533
+ a fast memory error detector.
534
+ * [ LeakSanitizer] ( https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/unstable-book/compiler-flags/sanitizer.html#leaksanitizer )
