Many implementations of C do have bounds checking as an option. However,
some checkers and debuggers (such as Rational's Purify) do have bounds
checking. But, these options are expensive in terms of performance. They
also are not foolproof since pointers are often used. 

C++ has the same problem when using built-in arrays. STL types, like
vector or string have some checking.
