If you can, we recommend running our tests with the sanitizers turned on.
For non-Visual Studio users, it is as easy as doing:



```bash
cmake -B build -D SIMDJSON_SANITIZE=ON -D SIMDJSON_DEVELOPER_MODE=ON
cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build
```


Our CI checks, among other things, for trailing whitespace. If a test fails for that reason,
use the "artifacts" button to download the artifact and inspect the problematic lines,
or run `scripts/remove_trailing_whitespace.sh` locally if you have a bash shell and `sed`.
