[PATCH] compat: helper for detecting unsigned overflow

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2010 21:59:26 -0500

The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned
integer has overflowed, but a more explicit

	unsigned_add_overflows(a, b)

might be easier to read.

Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).
Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof()
expressions, it is safe to use with arguments that have side effects.
