--- Comment #1 from Joseph S. Myers <jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-06-20 09:46:59 UTC ---
The proposed interface, with its references to global flags set by operations
that otherwise have values but no side effects, is not a good match to the
nature of C as a high-level language; the source code arithmetic operations
should not be presumed to have any particular correspondence to machine
instructions that might set flags.  Instead, I proposed a more appropriate
interface for operations with explicit overflow behavior in bug 48580.
