+<dd>
+<p>These built-in functions promote the first two operands into infinite precision signed
+type and perform addition on those promoted operands. The result is then
+cast to the type the third pointer argument points to and stored there.
+If the stored result is equal to the infinite precision result, the built-in
+functions return <code>false</code>, otherwise they return <code>true</code>. As the addition is
+performed in infinite signed precision, these built-in functions have fully defined
+behavior for all argument values.
+</p>
+<p>The first built-in function allows arbitrary integral types for operands and
+the result type must be pointer to some integral type other than enumerated or
+boolean type, the rest of the built-in functions have explicit integer types.
+</p>
+<p>The compiler will attempt to use hardware instructions to implement
+these built-in functions where possible, like conditional jump on overflow
+after addition, conditional jump on carry etc.

+<dd>
+<p>These built-in functions are similar to <code>__builtin_add_overflow</code>,
+<code>__builtin_sub_overflow</code>, or <code>__builtin_mul_overflow</code>, except that
+they don&rsquo;t store the result of the arithmetic operation anywhere and the
+last argument is not a pointer, but some expression with integral type other
+than enumerated or boolean type.
+</p>
+<p>The built-in functions promote the first two operands into infinite precision signed type
+and perform addition on those promoted operands. The result is then
+cast to the type of the third argument. If the cast result is equal to the infinite
+precision result, the built-in functions return <code>false</code>, otherwise they return <code>true</code>.
+The value of the third argument is ignored, just the side effects in the third argument
+are evaluated, and no integral argument promotions are performed on the last argument.
+If the third argument is a bit-field, the type used for the result cast has the
+precision and signedness of the given bit-field, rather than precision and signedness
+of the underlying type.
+</p>
+<p>For example, the following macro can be used to portably check, at
+compile-time, whether or not adding two constant integers will overflow,
+and perform the addition only when it is known to be safe and not to trigger
+a <samp>-Woverflow</samp> warning.
