title: Memory and Leak Testing

These tools simplify and extend popular memory and leak testing tools such as valgrind and clang's Address Sanitizer and clang's UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.

The approach taken is to post-process the tools' output to provide additional capabilities. This also allows reports to be suppressed after the fact, rather than having to be done at the time the test is run.

Getting Started
Runtime Options
Testing with the JVM
Patching valgrind to get wall-clock time
Patching clang to get filename suffix
