Topic: Compiling without AddressSanitizer

This means that debug builds will now crash more frequently, in order to show the issues. It is still possible to compile without AddressSanitizer by running `compile.sh -a`, or with the CMake option `-DOPTION_ASAN=OFF`. Release builds will be compiled without AddressSanitizer - use `compile.sh -r` to get a release build. There is also a new option to switch compilers. Run `compile.sh -h` or `compile.sh --help` for more info. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

I have just compiled with the compile script as usual, without making a symlink explained in the help. But i did only made some small tests so far... resulting in additional output regarding leaked memory in WLApplication. Fight simulator for Widelands: https://wide-fighter.netlify.app/ Top Quote

We have quite a lot of stuff to go through already, so best compile without the AddressSanitizer until we have achieved a pretty clean state. The symlink will make the output more meaningful, explaining which line in the code the problem comes from. It's just a bunch of Hex addresses otherwise. Depending on your system, the symlink will already be set per default. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote
