I know this may not be the right place to discuss about ASAN vs. valgrind, but valgrind does more than ASAN does,
for instance, checking the arguments of system calls. If you look at the other tools included, like hellgrind or cachegrind,
you'll see what I mean. Don't see it only as a memory checker, valgrind (or rather the family of tools behind that name)
has grown out of that.

HTH,
Uli
PS: no, I'm not a valgrind developer, just a fan ;-)
