No, undefined behavior is not a bounded error in C or C++, which means that the
compiler doesn't have to control it; in other words, once it is reached at run
time, the entire program can be wrecked.  Other languages, e.g. Ada, have a
notion of bounded error, which means the the compiler must control it somehow.
