= Sanitizers
This example shows how to enable sanitizers when using a clang or gcc toolset
.`main.cpp`
[source,cpp]
----
include::../../example/sanitizers/main.cpp[tag=source]
----
Our `jamroot.jam` is minimal and only specifies one `exe` target for the
program:
.`jamroot.jam`
[source,jam]
----
include::jamroot.jam[]
----
Sanitizers can be enabled by passing `on` or `norecover` to the appropriate sanitizer feature
(e.g. `thread-sanitizer=on`). The `norecover` option causes the program to terminate after
the first sanitizer issue is detected. The following example shows how to enable `address` and `undefined`
sanitizers in a simple program:
[source,bash]
----
> cd /example/sanitizers
> b2 toolset=gcc address-sanitizer=norecover undefined-sanitizer=on
...found 10 targets...
...updating 7 targets...

gcc.link bin/gcc-7.3.0/debug/address-sanitizer-norecover/undefined-sanitizer-on/main
...updated 7 targets...

Running the produced program may produce an output simillar to the following:
[source,bash]
