I really like APR. While pooled allocation isn’t always the best approach, it makes a lot of sense in server software, and reduces the risk of many classic memory problems (e.g., I don’t have to worry whether I pair 1000 mallocs with 1000 frees; it’s acceptable to pair 1000 apr_pallocs with a single apr_pool_free). ASAN is certainly helpful when using classic memory management techniques, but since so much C code uses custom memory management of some kind, it has to handle more than malloc and free. I certainly hope people improve ASAN instead of abandon things like memory pools. I would consider “malloc and free with ASAN” to be a step down from APR’s pools.
