About
This skill enables developers to use AddressSanitizer (ASan) to detect critical memory safety bugs like use-after-free and buffer overflows in C/C++ code. It's a security-focused tool for identifying memory leaks and other runtime errors during testing. Use it for in-depth memory error detection as part of a comprehensive security testing workflow.
