TL;DR: We plan to build a suite of compiler-based dynamic instrumentation tools for analyzing targeted performance problems. These tools will all live under a new "EfficiencySanitizer" (or "esan") sanitizer umbrella, as they will share significant portions of their implementations. ==================== Motivation ==================== Our goal is to build a suite of dynamic

Have you consider naming it `performance sanitizer` instead? I believe that it would be easier to misheard esan with asan, and psan would solve it. Besides, looks like fun!
