Re: Strange enum type conversion

Hi GCC developers,

Andrew> Isn't [(1 << 31)] UB on a 32-bit machine as well?  Looks like
integer overflow to me.

Challenge for the GCC developers:

I would love if there was a switch like this:  -fundefined-behavior-segv

Such that if the source touches upon undefined behavior, it does:
1) compiler error
2) runtime SEGV

Preferably the first, but in some unavoidable cases the second.

Also, as far as I am concerned, with that switch enable, it would be
plenty-fine-okay if the code had to be heavily instrumented (hence possibly
huge* performance penalty) to check ranges and such so that at runtime the
undefined behavior code incurs a SEGV.

Furthermore, a -fimplementation-defined-behavior-segv would likewise be
nice.

I know... GCC is open source.  Go ahead, add it myself, and submit the
patch.  :-)

Sincerely,
--Eljay

* Huge being "takes twice as long", or "x10 as long", or even "x100 as
long".
