Did anybody thougt about including the 

  'Bounds Checking for C' 
  (see http://www-ala.doc.ic.ac.uk/~phjk/BoundsChecking.html)

option in a DJGPP build compiler? Most time I just turn around and
around
to find those little stupid errors accessing arrays, dynamic chains, ...

Development would be much easier and the final program would benefit a
lot
from this option. A stable program with fast (and may be complicated)
algorithms will beat any optimizer, IMHO.
