807which will be individually terminated by null bytes. Separate arguments within

827Enable "poisoning" array cookies when allocating arrays with a custom operator new\[\] in Address Sanitizer, preventing accesses to the cookies from user code. An array cookie is a small implementation-defined header added to certain array allocations to record metadata such as the length of the array. Accesses to array cookies from user code are technically allowed by the standard but are more likely to be the result of an out-of-bounds array access.
828
829An operator new\[\] is "custom" if it is not one of the allocation functions provided by the C++ standard library. Array cookies from non-custom allocation functions are always poisoned.

2461``armv4``, ``armv4t``,
2462``armv5t``, ``armv5te``,

2476Some of the extension names are generic, but have an architecture specific
2477effect.  For example, the extension syntax ``+fp`` might enable FPv4-SP-D16 for
2478the Armv7-M architecture, but VFPv3-D16 for the Armv7-A arrchitecture.
2479
2480The following extension names are recognised:
