Is there a canonical way to explicitly check for integer overflow in Rust? I Googled around but couldn't find the answer.
Something like:
match add_or_overflow(x, y) {
None => println!("overflow!"),
Some(z) => println!("{} + {} = {}", x, y, z),
}
Or:
let x = OverflowChecked<i32>(_x);
let y = OverflowChecked<i32>(_y);
match x + y {
OverflowChecked::Overflow => println!("overflow!"),
OverflowChecked::Value(z) => println!("{} + {} = {}", x, y, z),
}
I could write this manually since Rust guarantees wrapping semantics, but I was just checking that there isn't some standard way to do this.
In debug mode, Rust adds built-in checks for overflow/underflow and panics when an overflow/underflow occurs at runtime. However, in release (or optimization) mode, Rust silently ignores this behavior by default and computes two's complement wrapping (e.g., 255+1 becomes 0 for an u8 integer).
Write a “C” function, int addOvf(int* result, int a, int b) If there is no overflow, the function places the resultant = sum a+b in “result” and returns 0. Otherwise it returns -1. The solution of casting to long and adding to find detecting the overflow is not allowed.
To remove the overflow error, change the value of variable2 from 0 to any negative number within the range −1 to −32767.
The rules for detecting overflow in a two's complement sum are simple: If the sum of two positive numbers yields a negative result, the sum has overflowed. If the sum of two negative numbers yields a positive result, the sum has overflowed. Otherwise, the sum has not overflowed.
The functions are named checked_[operator]
. See checked_add
for example:
fn main() {
let x: u8 = 255;
let y: u8 = 1;
let z = x.checked_add(y);
assert_eq!(z, None);
}
