It's been awhile since the last VS_O2 [1] update. So why not?
I'm checking up on the forum and I come across this thread [2] about a BASIC compiler for VS_O2. This sums it up pretty well:
Well C programmers have survived for years with a minumum of runtime error handling so I think it would be fine for your compiler to not worry about it either.
It just puts a burden on the programmer to check for things like being out of array bounds and such.
Shudder.
