AddressSanitizer (aka Asan) is memory error detection tool that is a part of LLVM. It | ||
very fast and easy to use but doesn't seem as robust as Valgrind. It requires compile | ||

system will get those flags after that is enabled but our third-party libraries (like MFEM) | ||
will not. After that just run your built executable and Asan will output a log to the screen | ||
after your program is done running. Asan's behavior can be modified with a set of | ||
`environment variables <https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerFlags>`_ . | ||
