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
-4.9.2 or later for basic support and version 5.0 or later for detection of
-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.
+8.3.0 or later. With Clang it requires version 7.0.0 or later, but detection of
+out-of-bounds accesses for global variables is only supported since Clang 11.
Tag-based KASAN is only supported in Clang and requires version 7.0.0 or later.
