'macos llvm-symbolizer not found

I am trying to use address sanitization when calling my program with clang, however it doesn't seem to be installed. If I type which llvm-symbolizer I get llvm-symbolizer not found. I also checked under /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin and under the location where clang is installed /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin but still I can't find llvm-symbolizer (though there are other llvm-* executables in the last path).

Is there a way I can install this on macos? Also, I couldn't find it in brew. I am using clang built in macos: Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.21).

My version of llvm-symbolizer was installed with Homebrew. You have to install llvm with brew install llvm to get it. It then shows up as:

% which llvm-symbolizer
/usr/local/Cellar/llvm/11.0.0/bin/llvm-symbolizer

By the way, some people may have installed llvm but not linked some binaries to path. The sure-fire way to add all llvm binaries to path is:

PATH="$PATH:$(brew --prefix)/opt/llvm/bin"

$(brew --prefix)/opt/llvm is a symbolic link to the most recent installed version of llvm, and bin is obviously the binaries therein.
