[New-bugs-announce] [issue46147] Support AddressSanitizer in Windows build

[anthony shaw]

New submission from anthony shaw <anthonyshaw at apache.org>:

I'd like to compile my C-extensions with ASAN for testing in Windows, but they cannot be loaded as the host python.exe process needs to be compiled with ASAN. 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/sanitizers/asan?view=msvc-170#ide-msbuild

The EnableASAN flag would be a setting in vcxproj files within the PCBuild solution, and a flag in the build.bat to enable it.
