There are a lot of different sanitizers for different bug categories, and they are all still under development. We can and should inform ourselves on the internet about how we can improve our test binaries. The GCC and LLVM project homepages list their sanitizing capabilities in their online documentation pages:

• https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Instrumentation-Options.html
• http://clang.llvm.org/docs/index.html (look for sanitizers in the table of contents)

Thorough testing with sanitizers is something that every programmer should be aware of and should always be doing. Unfortunately, this is not the case in alarmingly many companies, although buggy code is the most important entry point for all the malware and computer viruses out there.

When you get a new job as a software developer, check if your team really uses all the sanitizing possibilities there are. If not, you have the unique chance to fix important and sneaky bugs on your first day at work!
