I've spent the better part of yesterday and today debugging a complex
matter involving pointers, reduced to this:
../dmd/src/dmd -conf= -I../druntime/import -w -dip25 -m64 -O -release
-main -unittest generated/osx/release/64/libphobos2.a -defaultlib=
-debuglib= -L-lcurl -run std/experimental/allocator/kernighan_ritchie.d
In this configuration, surprisingly there's no bounds checks inserted. I
need to explicitly add -boundcheck=on.
Why the change? I've fought tooth and nail for keeping bounds checking
in release mode and with optimizations on, precisely because I think
it's a check that's valuable enough to warrant explicit disabling.
Could someone please explain. This is a shame.
Andrei
