 AddressSanitizer, originally [introduced by Google](https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc12/technical-sessions/presentation/serebryany), is a powerful alternative to both [`/RTC` (Runtime error checks)](../build/reference/rtc-run-time-error-checks.md) and [`/analyze` (Static analysis)](../build/reference/analyze-code-analysis.md). It provides run-time bug-finding technologies that use your existing build systems and existing test assets directly.
 
-AddressSanitizer is integrated with the Visual Studio project system, the CMake build system, and the IDE. Projects can enable AddressSanitizer by setting a project property, or by using one extra compiler option: **`/fsanitize=address`**. The new option is compatible with all levels of optimization and configurations of x86 and x64. However, it's incompatible with [edit-and-continue](/visualstudio/debugger/edit-and-continue-visual-cpp), [incremental linking](../build/reference/incremental-link-incrementally.md), and [`/RTC`](../build/reference/rtc-run-time-error-checks.md).

 Use the **`/fsanitize=address`** compiler option in a [developer command prompt](../build/building-on-the-command-line.md#developer_command_prompt_shortcuts) to enable compiling for the AddressSanitizer runtime. The **`/fsanitize=address`** option is compatible with all existing C++ or C optimization levels (for example, `/Od`, `/O1`, `/O2`, `/O2 /GL`, and `PGO`). The option works with static and dynamic CRTs (for example, `/MD`, `/MDd`, `/MT`, and `/MTd`). It works whether you create an EXE or a DLL. Debug information is required for optimal formatting of call stacks. In the example below, `cl /fsanitize=address /Zi` is passed on the command line.
