The good part:

LLVM 3.1 has been released, and AddressSanitizer is now officially a part of it.

llvm.org/releases/3.1/docs/ReleaseNotes.html

The bad parts:

There are still several issues (= security bugs) with perl-5.16.0 and important modules.

• heap-overflow threaded-only in swash_init - Carp - caller - gv_stashpvn call perl #113060 cx corruption
• DBI use-after-free cpan #75614
• List::Util 1.24 cpan #72700 (be sure to upgrade it from CPAN if you need to use 5.16.0 plain. Fixed in 1.25)
• clone_with_stack heap-use-after-free on PL_curcop perl #111610

My asan talk at YAPC is on the waiting list. If someone is interested I'll do a hallway meeting. parrot is happy to use it.

asan unrelated:

• B::COP::stashlen was missing from B perl #113034

rakudo-star make test is broken. You'd need to install it first, and then you…
