 **Experimental, may change or disappear in future**
 
+**Note:** this instrumentation might be incompatible with dead code stripping
+(``-Wl,-gc-sections``) for linkers other than LLD, thus resulting in a
+significant binary size overhead. For more information, see
+`Bug 34636 <https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34636>`_.

 With ``-fsanitize-coverage=pc-table`` the compiler will create a table of
 instrumented PCs. Requires either ``-fsanitize-coverage=inline-8bit-counters`` or
 ``-fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc-guard``.
