diagnosed.

The following options are deprecated and ignored. They will be removed in

- -fslp-vectorize-aggressive used to enable the BB vectorizing pass. They have been superseeded
by the normal SLP vectorizer.
- -fno-slp-vectorize-aggressive used to be the default behavior of clang.

have its name mangled.

Undefined Behavior Sanitizer (UBSan)
------------------------------------
- The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer has a new check for pointer overflow. This
check is on by default. The flag to control this functionality is
-fsanitize=pointer-overflow.
Pointer overflow is an indicator of undefined behavior: when a pointer
indexing expression wraps around the address space, or produces other
unexpected results, its result may not point to a valid object.
- UBSan has several new checks which detect violations of nullability
annotations. These checks are off by default. The flag to control this group
of checks is -fsanitize=nullability. The checks can be individially enabled
by -fsanitize=nullability-arg (which checks calls),
-fsanitize=nullability-assign (which checks assignments), and
-fsanitize=nullability-return (which checks return statements).
- UBSan can now detect invalid loads from bitfields and from ObjC BOOLs.
- UBSan can now avoid emitting unnecessary type checks in C++ class methods and
in several other cases where the result is known at compile-time. UBSan can
also avoid emitting unnecessary overflow checks in arithmetic expressions
with promoted integer operands.
