Interestingly it seems rust only does full overflow checking in debug builds: https://huonw.github.io/blog/2016/04/myths-and-legends-about...

By default yes, but you can enable overflow checking in release mode (it’s a conf / compiler flag), and it has standard functions for checked, wrapping, and saturating ops.
