//! 256-bit addition with overflow detection.
use super::U256;

impl U256 {
    /// Computes `self + other` by packing limb pairs into `u128` for
    /// native `add` + `adc` carry chaining, returning the 256-bit result
    /// and a boolean indicating whether the addition overflowed (i.e.,
    /// the true result exceeds `2^256 - 1`).
    ///
    /// Using `u128` lets LLVM emit a single `adc` for the intra-pair
    /// carry instead of two `overflowing_add` calls with a bool
    /// intermediate, reducing the operation count from 7 adds + 7 setc
    /// + 3 or to 3 adds + 3 adc + 3 setc.
    ///

    /// ```

    ///
    /// let a = U256::from_be_limbs([0, 0, 0, 10]);
