This causes programs compiled with this flag to print a diagnostic when
a control flow integrity check fails instead of aborting. Diagnostics are
printed using UBSan's runtime library.
The main motivation of this feature over -fsanitize=vptr is fidelity with
the -fsanitize=cfi implementation: the diagnostics are printed under exactly
the same conditions as those which would cause -fsanitize=cfi to abort the
program. This means that the same restrictions apply regarding compiling
all translation units with -fsanitize=cfi, cross-DSO virtual calls are
forbidden, etc.

This scheme checks that pointer and lvalue casts are made to an object of
the correct dynamic type; that is, the dynamic type of the object must be
a derived class of the pointee type of the cast. The checks are currently
only introduced where the class being casted to is a polymorphic class.
