> Please review this change to TypeRawPtr::add_offset to prevent a compiler from
> inferring things based on prior pointer arithmetic not invoking UB.  As noted in
> the bug report, clang is actually doing this.
> 
> To accomplish this, changed to integral arithmetic.  Also added over/underflow
> checks.
> 
> Also made a couple of minor touchups.  Replaced an implicit conversion to bool
> with an explicit compare to nullptr (per style guide).  Removed a no longer
> needed dummy return after a (now) noreturn function.
> 
> Testing: mach5 tier1-7
> That testing was with calls to "fatal" for the over/underflow cases and the
> sum==0 case.  There were no hits.  I'm not sure how to construct a test that
> would hit those.
