    If clazy is compiled with clang instead of gcc it might crash with:

    After debugging clazy and clang's code I couldn't find anything wrong with it.
    Valgrind's output doesn't make much sense, and simply compiling the Clazy.cpp
    translation unit with gcc instead of clang makes the crash go away and valgrind's output is clean.
    
    I'm assuming debian's LLVM was built with gcc and building clazy with clang
    will have some sort of incompatibility, or maybe it's simply a clang bug.
    
    The downside of this workaround is that qcolor-literal check will be disabled.
    Next step will be producing a minimal test case and reporting to LLVM.
