 ## Running Tests With Address Sanitizer (ASan)
 
 You don't need any extra steps to run with test code and the code in STL headers instrumented with [ASan][].
-The test matrices include both ASan and non-ASan configurations.
+The test matrices include both ASan and non-ASan configurations if you don't pass `-Dtags=ASAN` or `-Dnotags=ASAN`

 However, to instrument the separately-compiled code (the DLL, the satellites, the [Import Library][] - everything that's
 in `/stl/src`), you need to build the STL with ASan. Change the build steps to add `-DSTL_ASAN_BUILD=ON`:

 ASan-instrumented STL binaries require that the executable be instrumented as well, so you'll have to skip the non-ASan
