Disabling bounds checking for c++ vectors

Question

With stl::vector:

vector v(1);
v[0]=1; // No bounds checking
v.at(0)=1; // Bounds checking

Is there a way to disable bounds checking

Answer 1

No. The bounds-checking of std::vector::at is specified by the standard, and there is no standard-conforming C++ implementation that can deviate from that.
