Valgrind can’t work with sanitizers together

Valgrind can’t work with sanitizers together. Check following program with explicit memory leak:

# cat memory-leak.c
#include <stdlib.h>
void *p;
int main() {
  p = malloc(7);
  p = 0; // The memory is leaked here.
  return 0;
}

Build it and run with valgrind:

# gcc memory-leak.c -o memory-leak
# valgrind ./memory-leak

The memory leak is detected successfully. Build the program with “-fsanitize=address” option and run valgrind again:

# gcc -fsanitize=address memory-leak.c -o memory-leak
# valgrind ./memory-leak

We can see the valgrind can’t work normally.
