["derphead (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

derphead created MATH-1035:
------------------------------

             Summary: Better implementation of checked addition
                 Key: MATH-1035
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1035
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: derphead
            Priority: Minor


The implementation of org.apache.commons.math3.util.ArithmeticUtils.addAndCheck(long, long, Localizable) is inefficient and confusing. Here's a better way:

{code}
private static long addAndCheck(long a, long b, Localizable pattern) throws MathArithmeticException {
    final long SIGN_BIT = 1L << 63;
    long result = a + b;
    // If a and b have opposite sign, the result will not overflow.
    // If a and b have the same sign, the result overflowed if it has different sign.
    if (((~(a ^ b)) & (a ^ result) & SIGN_BIT) != 0) {
        throw new MathArithmeticException(pattern, a, b);
    }
    return result;
}
{code}

This bug tracker is bad btw. It raped my browser.
