std::add_sat(3) C++ Standard Libary std::add_sat(3) NAME std::add_sat - std::add_sat Synopsis Defined in header <numeric> template< class T > (since C++26) constexpr T add_sat( T x, T y ) noexcept; Computes the saturating addition x + y. This operation (unlike built-in arithmetic operations on integers) behaves as-if it is a mathematical operation with an infinite range. Let q denote the result of such operation. Returns: * q, if q is representable as a value of type T. Otherwise, * the largest or smallest value of type T, whichever is closer to the q. This overload participates in overload resolution only if T is an inte- ger type, that is: signed char, short, int, long, long long, an extended signed integer type, or an unsigned version of such types. In particular, T must not be (possibly cv-qualified) bool, char, wchar_t, char8_t, char16_t, and char32_t, as these types are not intended for arithmetic. Parameters x, y - integer values Return value Saturated x + y. Exceptions Throws no exceptions. Notes Unlike the built-in arithmetic operators on integers, the integral pro- motion does not apply to the x and y arguments. If two arguments of different type are passed, the call fails to com- pile, i.e. the behavior relative to template argument deduction is the same as for std::min or std::max. Most modern hardware architectures have efficient support for saturation arithmetic on SIMD vectors, including SSE2 for x86 and NEON for ARM.
