No you dont.
Arrays are all bounds checked; ..., that is, the following code will
throw an exception:
================================
class Foo {
static {
int[] m = new int[2];
System.out.println(m[34]);
}
}
================================
What do you mean by "overflow"? Do you mean this?
================================
class Foo {
static {
int m = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int k = Integer.MAX_VALUE + Integer.MAX_VALUE;
System.out.println(m);
System.out.println(k);
System.exit(0);
}
}
================================
if so, I don't see how that is an issue.
