Should I use std::vector::at() in my code

Viewed 8868

I noticed today that std::vector::at() is significantly slower than accessing values with square brackets []. According to the doc .at() is safer because it won't let me access values beyond the bounds of the array. However, even if I access out of bound values with at(), I'll obviously still have an error, so that's something I need to avoid no matter what.

So is there any good reason why anyone would use at() instead of []?
