Enable memory checks by default in Sun Studio Express Feb 2007
When I ran "Advanced -> Runtime Checking" for the first time, I was surprised when it did nothing. I only realized later that I first needed to do "Configure" on them to enable memory access and leak detection.I believe the default values for these should be "enabled".

Good point -- when I meant "enabled by default" I meant "enabled by default" when you do runtime checking.
Just to be explicit -- when I first did "Advanced -> Runtime Checking ->Start" it didn't do anything. I then had to select some checkboxes in "Advanced -> Runtime Checking -> Configure" first. I thought that to be a bit non-intuitive.
Naturally, unless I explictly want to do runtime checking, I don't want the feature to be turned on because of performance reasons.

Ah, I see now. However, bearing in mind that there are two quite different types of runtime checking, I wouldn't vote for any kind of "default option". Maybe a warning if nothing was enabled? Is it okay from your point of view?
