- No: Application errors
such as stores to random memory locations
may cause the simulation or tracing tool to fail
or produce spurious answers,
or may cause the application program to fail
in an unexpected (unintended) way or produce spurious answers.
- Some:
Certain kinds of errors are detected or serviced.
For example, application errors may be constrained
so that they can clobber application data in random ways
but that they cannot cause the simulation or tracing tool
to fail or produce erronious results.
- Yes:
Application errors are detected and handled in some
predictable way.
Typically, ``predictable'' means that the error
model is the same as a reference for the target architecture.
- Yes*:
Selectable; turning on checking may slow execution.
