To DW: Thank you for proving C++ sucks beyond belief and it NOT, contrary to propaganda, a superset of plain C. And, as a followup question, can C++ tell you whether there was an overflow?

Don't believe everything you read about C++ in this mailing list. The C++ committee is not made out of idiots. Unlike signed integers for which overflow is undefined behavior, unsigned integers always behave modulo 2^w. Leo
