java乘法溢出,如何检查Java中的两个数字相乘是否会导致溢出？

I want to handle the special case where multiplying two numbers together causes an overflow. The code looks something like this:

int a = 20;

long b = 30;

// if a or b are big enough, this result will silently overflow

long c = a * b;

That's a simplified version. In the real program a and b are sourced elsewhere at runtime. What I want to achieve is something like this:

long c;

if (a * b will overflow) {

c = Long.MAX_VALUE;

} else {

c = a * b;

}

How do you suggest I best code this?

Update: a and b are always non-negative in my scenario.

Java 8 has Math.multiplyExact, Math.addExact etc. for ints and long. These throw an unchecked ArithmeticException on overflow.
