Use Asan on Windows with the MSYS2 clang64 toolchain
Raw
use_asan_on_windows.md

  1. Install the MSYS2 distribution.

  2. Activate the clang64 environment. For newer versions of MSYS2, it is activated by default. If you have installed an older version, edit MSYS2_ROOT/etc/pacman.conf to activate it.

  3. In the MSYS2 terminal, run pacman -S mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-clang.

  4. Complie AND link your program with -fsanitize=address flag. See https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html#id3 for more information. Note that you have to use the -fsanitize=address flag both when compiling and linking; for example, in CMakeLists.txt, you have to use both target_compile_options(<YOUR_TARGET> PRIVATE -fsanitize=address) and target_link_options(<YOUR_TARGET> PRIVATE -fsanitize=address).
