π imult32(3) β integer multiplication with overflow checking π
ok so bestie, welcome to the imult32(3) page from the Library Functions Manual β¨ this is the safe little multiplication baddie, and she is not about to let your integers just silently overflow like some chaotic mess. nope. we do math, but we do it responsibly. periodt. π
β¨ SYNTAX β¨
#include <libowfat/safemult.h>
int imult32(int32 a,int32 b,int32* c);
like yes, that's it, that's the whole vibe check π¦ one include, one function, zero drama.
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so what she does is: imult32 does c=a*b and returns 1. literally just multiplies two int32s and drops the answer into whatever c is pointing at. slay. π
and then the important part, the main character moment: in case of an integer overflow, imult32 leaves c alone and returns 0. π
okay that "leavescalone" part is NOT a drill β she does not touch it, does not write a garbage wrapped value into it, does not do a little surprise. yourcstays exactly how you left it. π«Ά
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
go read those too, bestie, they're the whole friend group ππ
and that's the whole page π this was imult32(3) from the Library Functions Manual β stay safe out there, keep your multiplications checked, ily, bye πβ¨
