I will give C++ the superpower of invisibility so that when Hori is coding at home and trying to compete all he will be able to see is the anime girl background of his text editor, thus rendering him unable to focus on the competition at hand.

    You can add -fsanitize=undefined to your compiler options. This requires libubsan to be installed. It automatically REs when a UB/overflow happens, and tells you why.
