--- Comment #2 from Liu Hao <lh_mouse at 126 dot com> ---
Trunk on <https://gcc.godbolt.org/> produces the following code:
```
saturated_add(unsigned int, unsigned int):
add edi, esi
mov eax, -1
cmovnc eax, edi
ret
```
Condition moves are however, in my opinion, nothing better than branches, or
they could be something worse: <http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/cmov.html>
