> Compared to the LLVM compiler, where the option already exists, the implementation in the GCC compiler has some improvements and advantages:

> Complex uses of gotos and case labels are properly handled and should not report any false positive or false negatives.

I would hope that ASan use-after-scope false positives are considered bugs in clang+llvm.

> C++ temporaries are sanitized.

This is a nice improvement -- I've seen escapes happen here.

  "NVPTX

    OpenMP target regions can now be offloaded to NVidia PTX GPGPUs. See the Offloading Wiki on how to configure it."

RISC-V is officially added as supported, which is exciting.

Now if I could only get hold of a nice RISC-V board...
