Note that this one is also already in Cauldron since ~5 days, so it's already being heavily used without issues

This was also used to build the kernel-5.2.7-1 update

mga7, x86_64

Started to install missing pakages (before the update) and hit:
A requested package cannot be installed:
libstdc++6-8.3.1-0.20190524.1.mga7.x86_64 (in order to keep libstdc++6-8.3.1-0.20190802.1.mga7.x86_64)

That was pulled in during a recent update test - don't remember which one.
Successfully updated everything else from updates testing.

Noting that this version is already being used successfully tried a local build of celestia, which involves hundreds of C file compilations, a smattering of C++, and one or two other types.  No problems encountered.

Addendum to comment 4:

Harking back to earlier experiments with ASAN, this snippet from Wikipedia works.

// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AddressSanitizer
// To compile: g++ -O -g -fsanitize=address -o boom boom.cc
int main(int argc, char **argv) {

  int *array = new int[100];

  delete [] array;

  return array[argc];  // BOOM
}

$ ./boom
