I'm curious, but don't understand how ML interfaces with Canon and how much original memory management is in ML... gcc 4.9 now includes the address sanitizer for arm, is this useful for ML?

hehe today i also looked deeper into a-/ubsan stuff.
i am not sure if it will catch really some bugs or just misinterprets some intended behavior.

although i wanted to test it on modules and maybe its good enough to make it obligatory there.

(but asan makes use of virtual memory what we dont have)
