Soon™ we will have ckd_add etc. in the standard for this sort of thing, after several decades finally exposing functionality that any non-exotic CPU provides.

Except RISC-V, because RISC-V. Or, I expect, because they must have gathered statistics from a big chunk of real-world (mostly C and -compatible) code and got a bit fat nothing for the usage of the overflow flag—not because it's useless but precisely because you couldn't get at it from (compiler-independent) C.

Overflow isn't the only flag RISC-V doesn't have.

If floating point extensions aren't present, there aren't even flags.
