I'll be glad if I can see it on D after some years.

ASAN = like valgrind but a crapton faster. -- Andrei
I think if stuff like this implemented on D will be more faster,
because D have "normal pointer" and "raw pointer",
that mean we only need check them on convert.
example:
A a = new A(); //a is safe
A *b = *a+1; //from normal pointer to raw pointer, no need check
A c = *b; //from raw point to normal point, so check here
But it require the code of D itself is safe, and asan is much
low-level.
