Check for int/int8/int16/int64/int32 integer overflow in Golang arithmetic.
go get github.com/JohnCGriffin/overflow Note that because Go has no template types, the majority of repetitive code is generated by overflow_template.sh. If you have to change an algorithm, change it there and regenerate the Go code via:
go generate package main import "fmt" import "math" import "github.com/JohnCGriffin/overflow" func main() { addend := math.MaxInt64 - 5 for i := 0; i < 10; i++ { sum, ok := overflow.Add(addend, i) fmt.Printf("%v+%v -> (%v,%v)\n", addend, i, sum, ok) } } yields the output

Unsigned types not covered at the moment, but such additions are welcome.
There's a good case to be made that a panic is an unidiomatic but proper response. Iff you believe that there's no valid way to continue your program after math goes wayward, you can use the easier Addp, Mulp, Subp, and Divp versions which return the normal result or panic.
