[cfe-dev] Address Sanitizer and Objective-C garbage collection (GC) incompatible?

[Alexander Potapenko]

I've updated that bug. I hope that the new dynamic runtime will eliminate
the problems with GC.
Basically with the new runtime all the allocations from the GC zone will be
instead done using the ASan allocator. But this will lead to increased
memory consumption, because none of those allocations will be garbage
collected.
