Solution ([instrumentation](#runtime-instrumentation)): run tests with ASan. (We also use Valgrind, but it's slower than ASan, so we favor ASan.) Solution ([instrumentation](#runtime-instrumentation)): run tests with ASan. (We also use Valgrind, but it's slower than ASan, so we favor ASan.)
Since we run many test jobs with a memory leak detector, each test function must clean up after itself. Use the cleanup code (after the `exit` label) to free any memory that the function may have allocated.
