borland did have codeguard(maybe still does?), which was a more primitive version of asan in 1996.

until some years ago I used to build projects with their last freeware version in windows just validate minimally.

but yeah, the more compilers/ides with support for these tools the better.

There was a nice Numega (later acquired by and rebranded as Compuware) BoundsChecker tool for MSVC in early 200x that also worked good. IDK why they eventually discontinued the product though...

It's actually still sold by Micro Focus, although it's gone all "enterprise" and virtually impossible to buy.

Indeed) It helped me much back those days before I learned how to use assert() properly)

And they created the allmighty Soft-Ice debugger... But that's entirely different story))
