For a simple exemple: what happen when an integer overflow?
- The program aborts?
- The value silently wrap-around (2-complement behavior)?
- Is it an undefined behavior (like in C)?

Another one: what happens when there is an access out of the bounds of an array?
A crash? A runtime check? undefined behavior (like C)?

I did not find the answer in these 17 pages.
It seems that it leaving out a lot indeed…
