+Disabling instrumentation for common overflow patterns
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+There are certain overflow-dependent or overflow-prone code patterns which
+produce a lot of noise for integer overflow/truncation sanitizers. Negated
+unsigned constants, post-decrements in a while loop condition and simple
+overflow checks are accepted and pervasive code patterns. However, the signal
+received from sanitizers instrumenting these code patterns may be too noisy for
+some projects. To disable instrumentation for these common patterns one should
+use ``-fsanitize-undefined-ignore-overflow-pattern=``.

+Currently, this option supports three overflow-dependent code idioms:
