编程参考 - 无符号整数减法时溢出

#include <stdint.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <limits.h>



int main()

{

  unsigned int max = UINT_MAX;



  printf("Max is 0x%X\n", max);



  unsigned int plus1 = max+1;



  printf("Plus 1 is 0x%X\n", plus1);



  printf("The minus is 0x%X\n", plus1 - max);



  return 0;

}





$ gcc  -o test minus.c



$ ./test

Max is 0xFFFFFFFF

Plus 1 is 0x0

The minus is 0x1

用0减去0xFFFFFFFF, 就相当于0x100000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF，结果为1.

比如时间计数的tick，一直增长，当溢出时，用相邻的两个tick值做减法，计算的差值还是有效的。

uint32_t curTick;

static uint32_t last_tick;

curTick = os_get_tick();



if(tick - last_tick > 2)

{

  last_tick = curTick;

  // Do something

}
