[cfe-users] Address Sanitizer Link Error

[Peter Caspers]

what I observe is that if I use clang (instead of clang++) for the
link step, I get a different error (undefined reference to symbol
___cxa_free_exception@@CXXABI_1.3). I thought, that clang++ is just a
synonym for clang ? How does that magic happen ?
Thanks again
Peter
