Data races and the limits of ThreadSanitizer in C and Go

ThreadSanitizer, a tool for detecting data races, has varying effectiveness in C and Go programs. While it can identify many concurrency bugs, it misses certain patterns and may produce false positives, especially with complex synchronization. The article examines these constraints, compares the sanitizer's behavior across languages, and suggests complementary techniques for more reliable race detection.
