Subject: [PATCH 2/2] overflow: add size_shl() helper for saturated left shifts
Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2025 00:38:30 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251128033830.331426-3-rafael.v.volkmer@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251128033830.331426-1-rafael.v.volkmer@gmail.com>
Introduce size_shl() as a sibling to size_mul(), size_add() and size_sub()
for the left-shift case. It computes value << shift with both operands
promoted to size_t and uses check_shl_overflow() to detect invalid or
overflowing shifts, returning SIZE_MAX on failure.
No functional change for existing callers; this only adds a new helper.
