4.2.1.18 The instrumentation test

  Problem:  Instrumented binaries are bigger and slower than regular binaries
  Fix By:   Removing instrumentation options from compiler command line
  Waive If: Instrumentation is needed

  Example:  WARN: Instrumentation enabled - this is probably a mistake for production binaries

This test checks to see if any of gcc’s instrumentation command line options have been used when the binary built. These options are: _fsanitize, -finstrument-functions, -p, -pg, and -fprofile-arcs.

If necessary the test can be disabled via the --skip-instrumentation option and re-enabled via the --test-instrumentation option.
