+# Address Sanitizer (ASAN) Configuration
+
+## C Dependencies with ASAN
+
+This project successfully compiles C dependencies with ASAN enabled:
+- aws-lc-sys (AWS-LC crypto library)
+- libsqlite3-sys (SQLite)
+- zstd-sys (Zstandard compression)  
+- unix-odbc (when using odbc-static feature)
+
+### Configuration
+
+The C dependencies are compiled with ASAN using these environment variables:
+```bash
+export CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g"
+export CXXFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g"
+export CC=clang
+export CXX=clang++
+```
+
+A custom linker wrapper ensures ASAN runtime is linked:
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+exec clang -fsanitize=address "$@"
+```
+
+### Known Limitation: Proc-Macros with `-Zbuild-std`
+
+Enabling full Rust ASAN (`-Zsanitizer=address`) with `-Zbuild-std` causes issues with proc-macro crates.
+The sqlx-oldapi dependency uses sqlx-macros-oldapi (a proc-macro), which cannot be loaded when 
+the standard library is rebuilt with ASAN.
+
+## Workaround for Testing
+
+For CI/testing purposes, we can:
+1. Compile C dependencies with ASAN only (catches memory issues in native code)
+2. Run tests with ASAN enabled to detect memory errors
+3. Use LeakSanitizer (LSAN) in addition to catch memory leaks
+
+This provides significant value as the C dependencies are where most memory safety issues occur.
