Introducing MSVC AddressSanitizer for ARM64 targets - C++ Team Blog
We are pleased to announce AddressSanitizer (ASan) support for the Microsoft C++ (MSVC) Build Tools for ARM64 targets. ASan is a runtime memory error detector that identifies difficult-to-find bugs with zero false positives and improves memory safety. More technical information on ASan can be found at aka.ms/asan.  ASan has long supported the x64 and x86 architectures. With the release of Visual Studio 2026 for […]

NanoTag: Systems Support for Efficient Byte-Granular Overflow Detection on ARM MTE
Memory safety bugs, such as buffer overflows and use-after-frees, are the leading causes of software safety issues in production. Software-based approaches, e.g., Address Sanitizer (ASAN), can detect such bugs with high precision, but with prohibitively high overhead. ARM's Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) offers a promising alternative to detect these bugs in hardware with a much lower overhead. However, in this paper, we perform a thorough investigation of Google Pixel 8, the first production i…
