>will help to find bugs under such circumstances. Will help to crash your code when you use printf, which (in game development in particular) is 99% for debugging statements. No, having the C library explode violently at any opportunity does not always help detect bugs, and can be 100% harmful. You're overgeneralizing your own bug circumstances and development environment. That said, if it matters that much to you, wrap printf with a modified version that asserts on NULL-ish pointer dereferences. Don't attempt to roll back the clock on library development for everyone.
