For this error, you can break on __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch.

We don't have documentation explaining how the checks map to handler
functions yet. To find the handler name in general, you can build a program
which exhibits the diagnostic with -fno-sanitize-recover, break on calls to
'__sanitizer::Die()', and find the __ubsan_handle_* function in the
backtrace.

I would also like to include a backtrace with the ubsan warnings, but that
is not implemented yet. Patches very much welcome! (The backtrace
functionality from the other sanitizers could almost certainly be reused
here.)
