Hi,
The question is in the title. I am struggling with a pretty nasty race condition (that I cannot locate) involving concurrent jump computations (having a copy of the model for each tasks).
Some tool like
[https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.html](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.html)
> **[Data Race Detector - The Go Programming Language](https://go.dev/doc/articles/race_detector)**
would make my life a lot easier but I do not know if it could be done in Julia.

There’s previous threads here on Discourse regarding sanitizers like asan and tsan, and open issues on Github. There’s also this devdoc page:
> **[Sanitizer support · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1.13-dev/devdocs/sanitizers/)**
>
> Documentation for The Julia Language.
The situation is, as far as I understand, such that the developers sometimes use some of the sanitizers to help themselves find bugs in Julia (bugs in the C/C++ code, I guess), but there’s no user-friendly solution yet.
Ideally Julia would plug into LLVM’s sanitizer support, but that still seems to be a long way off.

Perhaps a test case for [GitHub - MilesCranmer/BorrowChecker.jl: A borrow checker for Julia](https://github.com/MilesCranmer/BorrowChecker.jl) ?
