Presented in Saint-Petersburg in June 2017 at Heisenbug conference. Video and slides are in Russian.
# Abstract
As the saying goes, “with great power comes great responsibility”. C++ is a language with great expression power and vast capabilities. One have to pay for these capabilities with possible defects, which are absent in programs written in managed languages.
Sanitizers are wonderful tools, which will help you find complex defects in C++ programs. I’ll talk about these tools, what they can do, and how to use them in your project.
