    UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker · c6d30853
    Andrey Ryabinin authored Jan 20, 2016
    UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
    (UB).  Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
    operations that could cause UB.  If check fails (i.e.  UB detected)
    __ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.
    
    So the most of the work is done by compiler.  This patch just implements
    ubsan handlers printing errors.
    
    GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
    option and its suboptions).
    However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].
    Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.
