A sanitizer is that runtime debug check. The compiler just inserts those checks.

Okay. Then I have to assume that they didn't do it for SimCity! Thanks.

  • Sanitizers come with a lot of overhead, and the tech wasn't readily available in SimCity's day, certainly not for Windows 95.

    • I was imagining more like some kind of primitive CPU mode that sends every single RAM request to a software exception. Something you would normally have turned off but available for truly heavy duty debugging.
