The C & C++ languages are powerful, but can suffer from a class of bugs which affect both **program correctness** and **program security**. Starting with Visual Studio 2019 16.9, the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler and IDE, support the Address Sanitizer technology which will light up [hard-to-find bugs](#error-types) with zero false positives.

The Address Sanitizer is a compiler and runtime runtime [introduced by Google](https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc12/technical-sessions/presentation/serebryany). Many projects can enable the Address Sanitizer with a project setting, or a single additional compiler switch: `-fanitize=address`. The new flag is compatible with all levels of optimization. There are conflicts in three compilation modes: [edit-and-continue](), [incremental linking](), and [/RTC](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/rtc-run-time-error-checks?view=msvc-160) switches), otherwise all configurations of x86 and x64 are supported.

Compiling with `-fsanitize=address` is a powerful alternative to both [/RTC](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/rtc-run-time-error-checks?view=msvc-160), and [/analyze](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/code-quality/code-analysis-for-c-cpp-overview?view=msvc-160). It provides run-time bug-finding technologies which leverage your existing build systems and existing test assets.
