+// This package contains functions that affect leak checking behavior within
+// targets built with the LeakSanitizer (LSan), a memory leak detector that is
+// integrated within the AddressSanitizer (ASan) as an additional component, or
+// which can be used standalone. LSan and ASan are included or can be provided
+// as additional components for most compilers such as Clang, gcc and MSVC.
+// Note: this leak checking API is not yet supported in MSVC.
+// Leak checking is enabled by default in all ASan builds.
+//
+// See https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerLeakSanitizer

+// IgnoreLeak()
+//
+// Instruct the leak sanitizer to ignore leak warnings on the object referenced
+// by the passed pointer, as well as all heap objects transitively referenced
+// by it. The passed object pointer can point to either the beginning of the
+// object or anywhere within it.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// static T* obj = IgnoreLeak(new T(...));
+//
+// If the passed `ptr` does not point to an actively allocated object at the
+// time `IgnoreLeak()` is called, the call is a no-op; if it is actively
+// allocated, the object must not get deallocated later.

+// LeakCheckDisabler
+//
+// This helper class indicates that any heap allocations done in the code block
+// covered by the scoped object, which should be allocated on the stack, will
+// not be reported as leaks. Leak check disabling will occur within the code
+// block and any nested function calls within the code block.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// void Foo() {
+// LeakCheckDisabler disabler;
+// ... code that allocates objects whose leaks should be ignored ...
+// }
+//
+// REQUIRES: Destructor runs in same thread as constructor

+// referenced and for which leak checking should be ignored. This function is
+// useful if you store pointers in mapped memory, for memory ranges that we know
+// are correct but for which normal analysis would flag as leaked code.
