Unsafe Math for Solidity 0.8+

This library and custom user types allow for the use of unchecked math operations when appropriate. Gas savings can be realized when it is already known that the results will not overflow.

Install

npm install -D @0xdoublesharp/unsafe-math

yarn add -D @0xdoublesharp/unsafe-math

Library UnsafeMath

The UnsafeMath library provides unchecked math operations for uint256 and int256 types with Solidity 0.8.0+. It also provides interoperability and conversion for the U256 and I256 user defined types.

Type uint256

Use the UnsafeMath library for uint256 types to perform unchecked math operations on two unsigned integers.

User Defined Types: U256 and I256

User defined types with operator overloads are also provided to take advantage of the latest Solidity features. Use U256 for unchecked unsigned integer operations, or I256 for unchecked signed integer operations. Helper methods are also provided for interoperating with uint256 and int256 via the UnsafeMath library.

The overloads also provide comparison and bitwise operators where available.
