Subject: [wwwdocs] Suggest UBsan in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/
Date: Tue, 06 Oct 2015 10:54:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151006105401.GP12094@redhat.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 213 bytes --]

For many non-bugs UBsan is at least as likely to reveal it as
-fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations so we
should tell people to try that before wasting time in Bugzilla.

OK for wwwdocs?
