    [$] Comparing GCC and Clang security features
    Hardening must be performed at all levels of a system, including in the
    compiler that is used to build that system. There are two viable compilers
    in the free-software community now, each of which offers a different set of
    security features. Kees Cook ran a session during the Toolchains
    microconference at the 2019 Linux
    Plumbers Conference     that examined the security-feature support provided
    by both GCC and LLVM Clang, noting the places where each one could stand to
    improve.
