Description Roland Illig 2017-02-20 17:49:41 UTC 
As a translator, I have no idea what "asan" in params.def means. It should be defined somewhere where it can easily be found by translators.

If "asan" is an abbreviation, why is it not spelled in uppercase letters?
Comment 1 Andrew Pinski 2017-02-20 17:52:54 UTC 
asan is short for address sanitizer; aka -fsantize=address option.
Comment 2 Roland Illig 2017-02-20 22:44:23 UTC 
Thanks for that info. Could you add this as a comment to the params.def file, just above the first appearance of the word "asan"?
Comment 3 Jonathan Wakely 2017-02-21 11:09:31 UTC 
Should those strings say ASan not asan? I believe that's how the abbreviation is stylised.
