--- Comment #13 from jules at gcc dot gnu.org 2011-10-05 13:05:47 UTC --- Coming to think of it, if _Sat were allowed on plain integers too, a _Flagged _Sat int could also be queried for saturation using a similar mechanism, like: int foo (_Sat int x, _Sat int y) { return _Saturated ((_Sat _Flagged) x + y); } I'm probably getting ahead of myself :-).
