> If it's just carrying on, that sounds bad.

Why? If you are an experienced C or C++ programmer you know about these quirks. Replacing an infinite loop without side effects with a crash sounds about as "bad" as optimizing it away.



What about baremetal embedded system code where there is no concept of a 'crash'? Sure you can emit a trap instruction/bus fault/etc, but what to emit for the trap handler code?
