memory access, and therefore requires a compiler version that supports that.
Generic KASAN is supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires version
-8.3.0 or later. With Clang it requires version 7.0.0 or later, but detection of
+8.3.0 or later. Any supported Clang version is compatible, but detection of
out-of-bounds accesses for global variables is only supported since Clang 11.

+Tag-based KASAN is only supported in Clang.
Currently generic KASAN is supported for the x86_64, arm64, xtensa, s390 and
riscv architectures, and tag-based KASAN is supported only for arm64.
