sanitizers 0.1.2 on CRAN: Maintenance
The third release (in twelve years !!) of the sanitizers package is now on CRAN. sanitizers provides ‘true positives’ for programming errors detected by the Address Sanitizer and friends such as the Undefined Behavior Sanitizer. This permits validation of the setup when chasing such bug reports: it allows us to ascertain that the compiler (and instrumented R version) are correctly set up and the errors we expect to be reported are in fact reported. That established, a proposed fix no longer exhibiting that same error will then likely be a suitable one.
A very good resources for all things sanitizers is the Google repo at GitHub and especially its wiki.
A little over twelve years since the first release, and three years since the second one, this update brings chiefly internal package changes and maintenance. No functional changes, no behavioural changes.
