Make the integer overflow check not rely on the undefined behavior that a size_t wraps around on overflow. Detected by lgtm.com

I use that overflow check pattern all the time, how is that undefined? size_t should always be unsigned unless gcc in early 90s maybe where they didn't follow the standard exactly. I think that checker is too sensitive. What about a username and password length check some small value like 1k instead of some chunk of size_t max |

Ah yes, I was a bit "blinded" by the warning so I didn't think properly. It actually shouldn't be undefined, no...
Yeah, I think that would make sense and would actually probably help to detect errors earlier and better... |
