Comment (by gk):

 I successfully deployed STACK to check for optimization-unstable code in
 tor. It found some bugs which are about the get resolved (see: #24423).
 Unfortunately, the current code works only with clang 3.4 which is pretty
 old and not new enough to check the browser part. I plan to work on that
 to get it going with clang 3.6 at least (which is currently the minimum
 required for compiling Firefox 52ESR).
