+The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer - UBSAN
+========================================
+
+UBSAN is a runtime undefined behaviour checker.
+
+UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior (UB).
+Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before operations
+that may cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected) __ubsan_handle_*
+function called to print error message.
+
+GCC has that feature since 4.9.x [1_] (see ``-fsanitize=undefined`` option and
+its suboptions). GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2_].
