-Undefined Behavior Sanitizer (UBSan)
-------------------------------------
+Sanitizers
+----------
+- ``-fsanitize-memory-param-retval`` is turned on by default. With
+  ``-fsanitize=memory``, passing uninitialized variables to functions and
+  returning uninitialized variables from functions is more aggressively reported.
