   @mcarrickscott If you want controlled overflow, ie wrap-around, you need the 
compiler option `-fno-strict-overflow`.  Otherwise you get [undefined 
behaviour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undefined_behavior).
   
   > In the [C 
community](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)), undefined 
behavior may be humorously referred to as "nasal demons", after a 
[comp.std.c](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comp.*_hierarchy) post that 
explained undefined behavior as allowing the compiler to do anything it 
chooses, even "to make demons fly out of your nose".
