Description

D6

add.ovf

Adds two signed integer values with an overflow check.

The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:

  1. value1 is pushed onto the stack.

  2. value2 is pushed onto the stack.

  3. value2 and value1 are popped from the stack; value1 is added to value2 with a check for overflow.

  4. The result is pushed onto the stack.

OverflowException is thrown if the result is not represented in the result type.

You can perform this operation on signed integers. For floating-point values, use Add.

The acceptable operand types and their corresponding result data type are listed in the table below. If there is no entry for a particular type combination (for example, int32 and float; int32 and int64), it is an invalid MSIL instruction and generates an error.
