 The given core tree will be built as part of the object store build.
 
+### Building with Sanitizers
+
+The object store can be built using ASan, TSan and/or UBSan by specifying `-DSANITIZE_ADDRESS=1`, `-DSANITIZE_THREAD=1`, or `-DSANITIZE_UNDEFINED=1` when inoking CMake.
+Building with ASan requires specifying a path to core with `-DREAM_CORE_VERSION` as core needs to also be built with ASan enabled.
+
+On OS X, the Xcode-provided copy of Clang only comes with ASan, and using TSan or UBSan requires a custom build of Clang.
+If you have installed Clang as an external Xcode toolchain (using the `install-xcode-toolchain` when building LLVM), note that you'll have to specify `-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++` when running `cmake` to stop cmake from being too clever.
