            Bug ID: 67204
           Summary: documentation for sanitizer missing/incomplete
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: sanitizer
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: smagnet at yopmail dot com
                CC: dodji at gcc dot gnu.org, dvyukov at gcc dot gnu.org,
                    jakub at gcc dot gnu.org, kcc at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

The GCC manual contains next to no documentation about the use of the various
-fsanitize options.

At the moment, the best source of information are 3rd party sites like the
google AddressSanitizer wiki
<https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/AddressSanitizer> which refer
primarily to LLVM/Clang; it's not clear how applicable they are to the current
sanitizer implementations in GCC.

The GCC manual should contain a proper description of the sanitizer
functionality.
