address sanitizer (-fsanitize=address) works with tcmalloc?

Question

I would like to know -fsanitize=address option of gcc works with tcmalloc? or do we need to run by disabling tcmalloc? Or is it will be good if sanitizer is run enabling tcmalloc?

Answer 1

Developers usually discourage from combining ASan with non-Glibc allocators (e.g. here) but theoretically there shouldn't be much difference - ASan is capable of intercepting any memory allocator on Linux (via symbol interposition).
