Which is a good thing, assuming you did reasonable testing with ubsan etc. Having to assume things that never happen is a big problem for optimization!


That's a good point. Seems like we could do a bit better than the current state of the art, though. If non-optimized builds trapped on overflow, that would at least give you a better chance of detecting these problems before the optimizer starts throwing out code you meant to keep.
