-// The simplest one to use is the compiler flag -ftrapv, which detects integer
-// overflows and similar errors. However, due to optimizations and compilers
-// taking advantage of undefined behavior sometimes it may not actually detect
-// anything.
-//
-// You can also use compiler-based stack protection to possibly detect possible
-// stack buffer overruns.
-//
-// For more accurate diagnostics, you can use an undefined arithmetic operation
-// detector such as the clang-based tool:
-//
-// "IOC: An Integer Overflow Checker for C/C++"
-//
-// Available at: http://embed.cs.utah.edu/ioc/
-//
-// It might also be useful to use Google's AddressSanitizer to detect
-// stack buffer overruns, which valgrind can't currently detect.
-
-// Let's force this code not to be inlined, in order to actually
-// test a generic version of the function. This increases the chance
-// that -ftrapv will detect overflows.
