   Apr 17, 2013 · A computation involving unsigned operands can never overflow, because a result that cannot be represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is reduced modulo to the number that is one greater than the largest value that can be represented by the resulting type.

   When an unsigned arithmetic operation produces a result larger than the maximum above for an N-bit integer, an overflow reduces the result to modulo N-th power of 2, retaining only the least significant bits of the result and effectively causing a wrap around.

   6.3.1 Overflow with Unsigned Integers. Unsigned arithmetic in C ignores overflow; it produces the true result modulo the n th power of 2, where n is the number of bits in the data type. We say it “truncates” the true result to the lowest n bits.

   Jun 8, 2021 · One very good way to prevent integer overflows is to use int64_t to implement integers. In most case, 64-bits ints will not commit overflow, unlike their 32-bits counterparts. There is actually very few downsides in using int64_t instead of int32_t.

   Aug 29, 2024 · The answer is overflow. Oddly, the C++ standard explicitly says “a computation involving unsigned operands can never overflow”. This is contrary to general programming consensus that integer overflow encompasses both signed and unsigned use cases (cite).

   Oct 24, 2019 · OVERFLOW AND UNDERFLOW. In C (and C++), integer types (like the signed and unsigned versions of char, short, and int) have a fixed bit-size. Due to this fact, integer types can only support certain value ranges. For unsigned int, this range is 0 to UINT_MAX, for (signed) int INT_MIN to INT_MAX.

   Can an unsigned integer overflow?

   • A computation involving unsigned operands can never overflow, because a result that cannot be represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is reduced modulo the number that is one greater than the largest value that can be represented by the resulting type. However, both standards state that signed integer overflow is undefined behavior.

   Does unsigned arithmetic ignore overflow?

   • Unsigned arithmetic in C ignores overflow; it produces the true result modulo the n th power of 2, where n is the number of bits in the data type. We say it “truncates” the true result to the lowest n bits. A true result that is negative, when taken modulo the n th power of 2, yields a positive number. For instance,

   Can a computation involving unsigned operands overflow?

   • A computation involving unsigned operands can never overflow, because a result that cannot be represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is reduced modulo the number that is one greater than the largest value that can be represented by the resulting type. This makes unsigned integer types a special case.

   Why does a negative number -1 cause overflow?

   • For instance, causes overflow because the negative number -1 can’t be stored in an unsigned type. The actual result, which is -1 modulo the n th power of 2, is one less than the n th power of 2. That is the largest value that the unsigned data type can store. For a 32-bit unsigned int, the value is 4,294,967,295. See Maximum and Minimum Values.

   What is an integer overflow?

   • This is wrapping in contrast to saturating. In computer programming, an integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation on integers attempts to create a numeric value that is outside of the range that can be represented with a given number of digits – either higher than the maximum or lower than the minimum representable value.

   How to prevent integer overflow?

There is actually very few downsides in using int64_t instead of int32_t. Most of the time, you won’t care about the performance gap or the size gap between them.

   Oct 16, 2020 · In C, unsigned arithmetic is said not to underflow or overflow because the C standard defines the operations to be performed using modulo arithmetic instead of real-number arithmetic.
