一些编译器提供了对CPU中整数溢出标志的访问，然后可以测试，但这不是标准的。

您还可以在执行乘法之前测试溢出的可能性:

if ( b > ULONG_MAX / a ) // a * b would overflow

另一种使用汇编语言的解决方案是外部过程。下面是在Linux x64下使用g++和fasm进行无符号整数乘法的示例。

这个过程将两个无符号整数参数相乘(32位)(根据amd64的规范(第3.2.3节参数传递)。

如果类为INTEGER，则使用序列%rdi、%rsi、%rdx、%rcx、%r8和%r9的下一个可用寄存器

(edi和esi寄存器在我的代码))，并返回结果或0，如果发生溢出。

format ELF64

section '.text' executable

public u_mul

u_mul:
  MOV eax, edi
  mul esi
  jnc u_mul_ret
  xor eax, eax
u_mul_ret:
ret

测试:

extern "C" unsigned int u_mul(const unsigned int a, const unsigned int b);

int main() {
    printf("%u\n", u_mul(4000000000,2)); // 0
    printf("%u\n", u_mul(UINT_MAX/2,2)); // OK
    return 0;
}

将程序链接到asm对象文件。在我的例子中，在Qt Creator中将它添加到一个.pro文件中的LIBS中。

不能从C/ c++中访问溢出标志。

我不同意这种说法。您可以编写一些内联汇编语言并使用jo(跳转溢出)指令，假设您在x86上捕获溢出。当然，您的代码将不再能够移植到其他体系结构。

查看info as和info gcc。

I see that a lot of people answered the question about overflow, but I wanted to address his original problem. He said the problem was to find ab=c such that all digits are used without repeating. Ok, that's not what he asked in this post, but I'm still think that it was necessary to study the upper bound of the problem and conclude that he would never need to calculate or detect an overflow (note: I'm not proficient in math so I did this step by step, but the end result was so simple that this might have a simple formula).

重点是问题要求的a b c的上限是98.765.432。不管怎样，先把问题分成琐碎部分和非琐碎部分:

X0 == 1(9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2的所有排列都是解) X1 == x(无解) 0b == 0(不可能解) 1b == 1(无解) Ab, a > 1, b > 1(非平凡)

Now we just need to show that no other solution is possible and only the permutations are valid (and then the code to print them is trivial). We go back to the upper bound. Actually the upper bound is c ≤ 98.765.432. It's the upper bound because it's the largest number with 8 digits (10 digits total minus 1 for each a and b). This upper bound is only for c because the bounds for a and b must be much lower because of the exponential growth, as we can calculate, varying b from 2 to the upper bound:

    9938.08^2 == 98765432
    462.241^3 == 98765432
    99.6899^4 == 98765432
    39.7119^5 == 98765432
    21.4998^6 == 98765432
    13.8703^7 == 98765432
    9.98448^8 == 98765432
    7.73196^9 == 98765432
    6.30174^10 == 98765432
    5.33068^11 == 98765432
    4.63679^12 == 98765432
    4.12069^13 == 98765432
    3.72429^14 == 98765432
    3.41172^15 == 98765432
    3.15982^16 == 98765432
    2.95305^17 == 98765432
    2.78064^18 == 98765432
    2.63493^19 == 98765432
    2.51033^20 == 98765432
    2.40268^21 == 98765432
    2.30883^22 == 98765432
    2.22634^23 == 98765432
    2.15332^24 == 98765432
    2.08826^25 == 98765432
    2.02995^26 == 98765432
    1.97741^27 == 98765432

注意，例如最后一行:它说1.97^27 ~98M。因此，例如，1^27 == 1和2^27 == 134.217.728，这不是一个解决方案，因为它有9位数字(2 > 1.97，所以它实际上比应该测试的要大)。可以看到，用于测试a和b的组合非常小。对于b == 14，我们需要尝试2和3。对于b == 3，我们从2开始，到462结束。结果均小于~98M。

现在只需测试以上所有的组合，找出不重复任何数字的组合:

    ['0', '2', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8'] 84^2 = 7056
    ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '8', '9'] 59^2 = 3481
    ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '8', '9'] 59^2 = 3481 (+leading zero)
    ['1', '2', '3', '5', '8'] 8^3 = 512
    ['0', '1', '2', '3', '5', '8'] 8^3 = 512 (+leading zero)
    ['1', '2', '4', '6'] 4^2 = 16
    ['0', '1', '2', '4', '6'] 4^2 = 16 (+leading zero)
    ['1', '2', '4', '6'] 2^4 = 16
    ['0', '1', '2', '4', '6'] 2^4 = 16 (+leading zero)
    ['1', '2', '8', '9'] 9^2 = 81
    ['0', '1', '2', '8', '9'] 9^2 = 81 (+leading zero)
    ['1', '3', '4', '8'] 3^4 = 81
    ['0', '1', '3', '4', '8'] 3^4 = 81 (+leading zero)
    ['2', '3', '6', '7', '9'] 3^6 = 729
    ['0', '2', '3', '6', '7', '9'] 3^6 = 729 (+leading zero)
    ['2', '3', '8'] 2^3 = 8
    ['0', '2', '3', '8'] 2^3 = 8 (+leading zero)
    ['2', '3', '9'] 3^2 = 9
    ['0', '2', '3', '9'] 3^2 = 9 (+leading zero)
    ['2', '4', '6', '8'] 8^2 = 64
    ['0', '2', '4', '6', '8'] 8^2 = 64 (+leading zero)
    ['2', '4', '7', '9'] 7^2 = 49
    ['0', '2', '4', '7', '9'] 7^2 = 49 (+leading zero)

没有一个匹配问题(这也可以通过缺少'0'，'1'，…“9”)。

下面是解决该问题的示例代码。还要注意，这是用Python编写的，不是因为它需要任意精确整数(代码不会计算任何大于9800万的数字)，而是因为我们发现测试的数量非常少，所以我们应该使用高级语言来利用其内置的容器和库(还要注意:代码有28行)。

    import math

    m = 98765432
    l = []
    for i in xrange(2, 98765432):
        inv = 1.0/i
        r = m**inv
        if (r < 2.0): break
        top = int(math.floor(r))
        assert(top <= m)

        for j in xrange(2, top+1):
            s = str(i) + str(j) + str(j**i)
            l.append((sorted(s), i, j, j**i))
            assert(j**i <= m)

    l.sort()
    for s, i, j, ji in l:
        assert(ji <= m)
        ss = sorted(set(s))
        if s == ss:
            print '%s %d^%d = %d' % (s, i, j, ji)

        # Try with non significant zero somewhere
        s = ['0'] + s
        ss = sorted(set(s))
        if s == ss:
            print '%s %d^%d = %d (+leading zero)' % (s, i, j, ji)

警告:GCC在使用-O2编译时会优化掉溢出检查。 选项-Wall会在某些情况下给你一个警告

if (a + b < a) { /* Deal with overflow */ }

但在这个例子中不是:

b = abs(a);
if (b < 0) { /* Deal with overflow */ }

唯一安全的方法是在溢出发生之前检查溢出，正如CERT论文中所描述的那样，系统地使用这种方法将非常繁琐。

使用-fwrapv编译可以解决这个问题，但会禁用一些优化。

我们迫切需要一个更好的解决方案。我认为编译器应该发出一个警告，默认情况下，优化依赖于溢出没有发生。目前的情况允许编译器优化掉溢出检查，这在我看来是不可接受的。
