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

Derive your own vector class in your own namespace like "uncheckedvector", and override the at() of the base vector type to use the array index.

Then use "using uncheckedvector::vector" will let you override all your uses of vector everywhere. This won't work if you're using fully qualified types anywhere though.
