### ASan intrinsic compatibility library
110110

111-
When building with ASan, the compiler replaces intrinsic functions (like `memset`) with function calls provided by the ASan runtime library (like `__asan_memset`) that complete the same operation but also provide memory safety checks. For user-mode ASan, the compiler and runtime are updated together because Visual Studio provides both. [Kernel-mode ASan (KASan)](windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/kasan) is part of the Windows OS, so it updates on a different cadence than the compiler. To avoid issues with a new compiler using new intrinsics that the installed version of KASan doesn't support, link the compatibility library (`asan_compat.lib`) to avoid link-time issues. When using `asan_compat.lib`, the program behaves as though the unsupported ASan intrinsics aren't used. Linking with a newer runtime library that supports the new ASan intrinsics supersedes the versions provided by `asan_compat.lib`. This decision is made at link time, so it's imperative to link with the KASan library provided by the Windows SDK that matches the OS version you're targeting.

- To include this compatibility library as a default library, use the **`/fsanitize-address-asan-compat-lib`** compiler option. This option is automatically enabled when using **`/fsanitize=kernel-address`**.\
