Strange problem with sanitizer

help

Hi,
I tried to sanitize my code and all sanitizers pass fine, except for 'memory'. Then, I discovered it fails even on hello world project:

[lukasz@localhost tmp]$ cargo init hello
Created binary (application) package
[lukasz@localhost tmp]$ cd hello
[lukasz@localhost hello]$ RUSTFLAGS="-Z sanitizer=memory" cargo +nightly run --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Exiting

Is this a bug in nightly?
Thanks,

I've not heard of anyone being able to successfully apply MSan to Rust applications. For example, it's known to produce use-of-uninitialized-value when running tests, making it impossible to use MSan with your tests.

If you want something similar, with less false-positives, try libdiffuzz.
