gdb

You can use gdb with binaries built by AddressSanitizer in a usual way. When AddressSanitizer finds a bug it calls one of the functions __asan_report_{load,store}{1,2,4,8,16} which in turn calls __asan_report_error. If you want gdb to stop before asan reports an error, set a breakpoint on __asan_report_error. If you want gdb to stop after asan has reported an error, set a breakpoint on AsanDie or use ASAN_OPTIONS=abort_on_error=1.

Inside gdb you can ask asan to describe a memory location:

(gdb) set overload-resolution off
(gdb) p __asan_describe_address(0x7ffff73c3f80)
0x7ffff73c3f80 is located 0 bytes inside of 10-byte region [0x7ffff73c3f80,0x7ffff73c3f8a)
