Detected undefined behavior is printed to the system console, including the offending line in the source code. .Pp By default, .Nm is not enabled but instead requires the following line to be present in the kernel configuration: .Bd -literal -offset indent option KUBSAN .Ed .Pp The following undefined behavior is detected: .Bl -tag -width 4n .It Integer overflow The result of an arithmetic computation on two integer operands cannot be represented by the destination type. .It Negate overflow Negation of an integer cannot be represented by the destination type. .It Pointer overflow Pointer arithmetic overflow. .It Out of bounds Array indexing out of bounds, limited to cases where the size of the array can be statically determined. .It Shift out of bounds Undefined logical shift caused by: .Bl -dash .It The shift amount being negative. .It The shift operand being negative. .It The shift amount exceeds the number of bits as given by the shift operand type. .It The result of the shift computation cannot be represented by the destination type. .El .It Non-null argument Passing .Dv NULL as the value for a function argument annotated with .Dv __nonnull__ . .It Invalid load Loading a value that cannot be represented by the destination type. .It Type mismatch Mismatch between pointer and value type caused by: .Bl -dash .It A pointer which does not fulfill the alignment requirements of the value type. .It A pointer to an address which lacks sufficient space to store the value type. .El .It Unreachable Execution reached passed a function annotated with .Dv __dead . .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr options 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm implementation is derived from .Nx and first appeared in .Ox 6.5 . .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm implementation was written by .An Anton Lindqvist Aq Mt anton@openbsd.org . .Sh CAVEATS The .Nm implementation is limited to architectures using .Xr clang 1 as their default compiler.
