version: 0.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.sanitizers
abstract: Recent gcc and clang compiler versions provide functionality to test for
  memory violations and other undefined behaviour; this is often referred to as "Address
  Sanitizer" (or 'ASAN') and "Undefined Behaviour Sanitizer" ('UBSAN'). The Writing
  R Extension manual describes this in some detail in Section 4.3 title "Checking
  Memory Access". This feature has to be enabled in the corresponding binary, eg in
  R, which is somewhat involved as it also required a current compiler toolchain which
  is not yet widely available, or in the case of Windows, not available at all (via
  the common Rtools mechanism). As an alternative, pre-built Docker containers such
  as the Rocker container 'r-devel-san' or the multi-purpose container 'r-debug' can
  be used. This package then provides a means of testing the compiler setup as the
  known code failures provides in the sample code here should be detected correctly,
  whereas a default build of R will let the package pass. The code samples are based
  on the examples from the Address Sanitizer Wiki at <https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki>.
