Subject: Compiler Question

Author: David Rasmussen

Are there any compilers that can be asked to compile bounds checks on array
accesses into the code, possibly in some sort of debug mode? I remember in my
old Pascal days, that Turbo Pascal did a runtime error if you accessed an array
out of bounds. Of course this was slow, so you could turn it off in release
builds (I think). I don't understand why all good compilers doesn't have a
"failsafe" mode where all sorts of checks are compiled into the code.
