I could use AddressSanitizer indirectly by using Go. But their 
compiler gave me wrong line numbers for errors and I have not yet 
overcome this psycholocicaly, to be honest. They have a fixed 
version, which is a WIP which is already using generics.

So I went on and saw that Visual C++ now features 
AdressSanitizer. It showed faulty behavior very soon, a false 
positive AFAIR. It's in experimental stage. /d2MPX is out of the 
early development stage but it's no prominent feature.

I went on with Nim, which then gave me wrong line numbers for 
error messages. I'm not counting wrong, they really do, both 
Golang and Nim gave me errors that triggered me. ;)

I began a little C compiler project based on c4, knowing that I 
would be very old when this should ever be finished.

Actually I am looking for a good compiler for Windows or maybe 
macOS, and looking at JAI, too.

Maybe I should just install Linux. But ... the drivers... My 
Thinkpad just doesn't like any Linux. I run out of ideas.

In the first place all I wanted to do is make some music.

Kind regards
