question/request: enable clang/gcc sanitizers on windows

[FeignClaims]

My junior classmate is trying to learn C++ with my vscode tutorial that uses clang installed by msys2 on windows, but I noticed project_options won't enable sanitizers for him because,

project_options/src/Sanitizers.cmake

Lines 172 to 174 in 86e68a9

	if(NOT "${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}" STREQUAL "Windows" AND (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "GNU"
	OR CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID MATCHES ".*Clang")
	)

As a result, the cmake configuration says,

No sanitizer is supported for the current platform/compiler

I removed the above NOT "${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}" STREQUAL "Windows" and configured again, the sanitizers are enabled and work correctly.

So I'm wondering why dose project_options disable clang/gcc sanitizers on windows and I suggest maybe we should investigate the current support for sanitizers on windows. (BTW Unfortunately, I can't reach my windows computer until next year).

These conditions were added because it didn't work on Windows back when I wrote the code. Which versions of the compilers would work? We can allow recent versions if know the range.

Not sure yet. I'll have to wait until next year when I can get a Windows computer to try them out specifically. The example above is clang 18.1.8 installed in the msys2 clang64 environment. That is,

$ clang --version
clang version 18.1.8
Features: windows
Platform: x86_64-w64-windows-gnu
