I don't think this is accurate description, the instrumentation doesn't lead to
introduction of any invalid code, all it leads to is due to the instrumentation
some code is less optimized.  It is the property of jump threading that it
often can result in code that will actually never be executed (i.e. dead code),
that can happen easily both with sanitization or if one adds whatever the
sanitizer adds by hand.  And then the question is if the compiler is able to
find out the code is dead and optimize it away before these warnings warn about
it.
