Crashes are NOT silent. However, _exit is silent.

Please change your function's name and provide a generic implementation for a
compiler that doesn't implement __builtin_trap.

Please also provide commentary on how developers would debug such faults, such
as compiling in debug mode, or doing post-mortem debugging, even if the
comment is "this is not debuggable".

Those developers prioritise performance over correctness?

And if those developers have already ascertained that the indexes cannot be
out of bounds, would they need your suggested method at all?
