Generic KASAN is supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires version

-out-of-bounds accesses for stack and global variables and for inline
-instrumentation mode (see the Usage section). With Clang it requires version
-7.0.0 or later and it doesn't support detection of out-of-bounds accesses for
-global variables yet.
