<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
Simply compile and link your program with <tt>-faddress-sanitizer</tt> flag. <BR>
The AddressSanitizer run-time library should be linked to the final executable,
so make sure to use <tt>clang</tt> (not <tt>ld</tt>) for the final link step.<BR>
When linking shared libraries, the AddressSanitizer run-time is not linked,
so <tt>-Wl,-z,defs</tt> may cause link errors (don't use it with AddressSanitizer). <BR>
To get a reasonable performance add <tt>-O1</tt> or higher. <BR>
To get nicer stack traces in error messages add
<tt>-fno-omit-frame-pointer</tt>. <BR>

If a bug is detected, the program will print an error message to stderr and exit with a
non-zero exit code.

(it may work, but is not guaranteed too).
