+synopsis: Define integer overflow in the Nix language as an error
+issues: [fj#423]
+cls: [1594, 1595, 1597, 1609]
+category: Fixes
+credits: [jade]

+
+Previously, integer overflow in the Nix language invoked C++ level signed overflow, which was undefined behaviour, but *probably* manifested as wrapping around on overflow.
+
+Since prior to the public release of Lix, Lix had C++ signed overflow defined to crash the process and nobody noticed this having accidentally removed overflow from the Nix language for three months until it was caught by fiddling around.
+Given the significant body of actual Nix code that has been evaluated by Lix in that time, it does not appear that nixpkgs or much of importance depends on integer overflow, so it is safe to turn into an error.
+
+Some other overflows were fixed:
+- `builtins.fromJSON` of values greater than the maximum representable value in a signed 64-bit integer will generate an error.
+- `nixConfig` in flakes will no longer accept negative values for configuration options.
+
+Integer overflow now looks like the following:
+
+```
+ยป nix eval --expr '9223372036854775807 + 1'
+error: integer overflow in adding 9223372036854775807 + 1
+```

The integration tests are defined in the Nix flake under the `hydraJobs.tests` attribute.
These tests include everything that needs to interact with external services or run Lix in a non-trivial distributed setup.
-Because these tests are expensive and require more than what the standard github-actions setup provides, they only run on the master branch (on <https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master>).
You can run them manually with `nix build .#hydraJobs.tests.{testName}` or `nix-build -A hydraJobs.tests.{testName}`
