23/* Return 1 if an array of N objects, each of size S, cannot exist due
24 to size arithmetic overflow. S must be positive and N must be
25 nonnegative. This is a macro, not a function, so that it
26 works correctly even when SIZE_MAX < N.
27
28 By gnulib convention, SIZE_MAX represents overflow in size
29 calculations, so the conservative dividend to use here is
30 SIZE_MAX - 1, since SIZE_MAX might represent an overflowed value.
31 However, malloc (SIZE_MAX) fails on all known hosts where
32 sizeof (ptrdiff_t) <= sizeof (size_t), so do not bother to test for
33 exactly-SIZE_MAX allocations on such hosts; this avoids a test and
34 branch when S is known to be 1. */
