Array bounds checking is performed at runtime, but if the compiler can prove that the bounds check is superfluous (trivial example: the index is the constant 0 for a non-empty array) then it can elide the code that does the check. Someone has put together a nice document demonstrating some of the more useful techniques: https://github.com/Shnatsel/bounds-check-cookbook/ - Dan C.
