8Introduction
9============
10
11LeakSanitizer is a run-time memory leak detector. It can be combined with
12:doc:`AddressSanitizer` to get both memory error and leak detection.
13LeakSanitizer does not introduce any additional slowdown when used in this mode.
14The LeakSanitizer runtime can also be linked in separately to get leak detection
15only, at a minimal performance cost.

17Current status
18==============
19
20LeakSanitizer is turned on by default, but it is only supported on x86\_64
21Linux.
22
23The combined mode has been tested on fairly large software projects. The
24stand-alone mode has received much less testing.
25
26There are plans to support LeakSanitizer in :doc:`MemorySanitizer` builds.
