Re: [RFC] ZPP Failure On Overflow

No bogus value ever gets to a function - it always gets INT_MAX on overflow. If INT_MAX is harmful for this function, this change does not help as you could still pass INT_MAX and this change would not do anything. The thing is relying on this would not really improve your code - it is very rare that INT_MAX+1 is harmful for your function but INT_MAX-1 is not. But it may be useful to know that you can pass any value and it will be capped at INT_MAX. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/
