Re: [boost] Is there interest in portable integer overflow detection, with policy based handling?

... How is this resolved? To take a pathological case:

unsigned int x = std::numeric_limits<unsigned int>::max(); x = x / (-1);

Will this throw? or fail at compile time, or what?

You are absolutely correct. I am not sure how I missed that corner case considering that I have the negation operator, and multiplication by -1 are accounted for. I will write additional unit tests and post a fix shortly.

Providing valuable feedback is why I post to the Boost community. Thank you, Ben Robinson
