False, most standard libraries out there allow you to configure whether you want extra checks or not.

But at least in the case of MSVC that comfiguration option leads to binary incompatibilities that make it an all or nothing option for everything that gets linked together statically. And the checks are so heavy that the "all" option becomes unbearably slow quite quickly. If your project hits a reasonable size, you end up requiring some clever solutions.
