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