I guess.  As I said, each finds/misses things the other doesn't.  ASan notably doesn't find uninitialized memory reads, while valgrind can.  OTOH, ASan can find invalid memory access in stack memory, while valgrind can't.

I am fully in favour of running both tools!  But due to its speed, valgrind is mostly limited to once-nightly, not at every commit.

Cheers,
