Yeah... any good optimizer will do this for you. C++ actually makes its
job easier.
Easier than what? I can't imagine how the C++ compiler can tell
statically that I'm not running off a dynamically-allocated array. Are
you telling me that if I had a "smart array" class, the compiler can
optimize away the checks inside the class when I pass it the right
calls? I'd think you would at a minimum have to inline the code for that
to work, and it would seem to make the compiler's job a lot harder,
deducing that what you have is essentially what a different language
would specify from the start.
and when you don't... you can use C/C++.
Or pragma it off. :-)
