sanitzer

Two years ago, I spent three days to figure out why the driver terminal of a sugar beet harvester crashed (see my original post). The crash happened after going through the same six-step interaction at least four times. The reason was that the C++ code accessed an object that the QML engine had already deleted. For the last two years, I have heard a lot of good things about address sanitizers. When I threw address sanitizers at the old problem, they identified the problem right away. Recently, address sanitizers helped me to locate and fix some strange crashes on a legacy application. Sanitizers will be part of my debugging toolbox from now on.
