Disabling bounds checking for c++ vectors
c++, g++, libstdc++
Solution
If you really want to do it (at least for a quick and dirty profiling comparison), this will work if you have no other `at()`s
#define at(x) operator[](x)
And if you want to keep `at()` for development and use `operator[]` in production, just wrap it in an `#ifdef`.
And if you do have other `at()`s you can always edit your `#include`d `<vector>` file.
Problem
With stl::vector: ``` vector<int> v(1); v[0]=1; // No bounds checking v.at(0)=1; // Bounds checking ``` Is there a way to disable bounds checking without having to rewrite all `at()` as `[]`? I am using the GNU Standard C++ Library. Edit: I changed `at()` to `[]` in the area where I suspected a bottleneck, and it significantly reduced the computation time. However, since I iterate between developing the code and running experiments with it, I would like to enable bounds checking during development and disable it when I run the experiments for real. I guess Andrew's advice is the best solution.
