It also catches things that valgrind does not so that's a bonus.
One thing to note, though. I have noticed that when enabling
-fsanitize=undefined and/or -fsanitize=address in combination with
-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage there is a loss in reported coverage, at
least on gcc 9.3. This may not be very obvious unless coverage is
normally at 100%.
