With MSVC you can use _CONTAINER_DEBUG_LEVEL=1 to get a fast bounds check that can be used in release builds. Or just use it in development to catch errors.

Interesting thanks. Seems the reason I couldn't find anything on that is because it's internal only and not a feature you're actually meant to use?

> We talked about this at the weekly maintainer meeting and decided that we're not comfortable enough with the (lack of) design of this feature to begin documenting it for wide usage.

What you want should be _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL instead, that is the public macro for bounds checking configuration.
