Is there a way to disable the checks for 'this == null' at the beginning of struct methods?

Similarly, is there a way to disable static array bounds checking? I'm trying to write a light weight vector class template and running into some problems with these.

Oddly, gcc isnt able to optimize away the static bounds checking even though it seems rather obvious statically comparing 0 against 2...

	xorl	%edx, %edx
	xorl	%ecx, %ecx
	cmpl	$2, %edx
	leal	0(,%ecx,4), %esi
	fstps	-28(%ebp)
	jae	L1454

Did you try -release already?
That should at least disable bounds checking for arrays.

It does, and it also turns off the struct null check, asserts (other than assert(false)s), invariants, in/out contracts, debug statements, and just about any other debugging cruft.

Would be nice if there were a bit more granularity for turning these things on and off, though..
