The preceding code checks that view->max_off is nonnegative and
(off + width) fits in an off_t, so this code is already safe.

On 32-bit architectures with 64-bit file offsets, gcc 4.3 and earlier
produce the following warning:
CC vcs-svn/sliding_window.o
vcs-svn/sliding_window.c: In function `check_overflow':
vcs-svn/sliding_window.c:36: warning: comparison is always false \
due to limited range of data type
The warning appears even when gcc is run without any warning flags
(PR12963). In later versions it can be reproduced with -Wtype-limits,
which is implied by -Wextra.
On 64-bit architectures it really is possible for a size_t not to be
representable as an off_t so the check being warned about is not
actually redundant. But even false positives are distracting. Avoid
the warning by making the "len" argument to check_overflow a
uintmax_t; no functional change intended.

The canonical interpretation of a range a,b is as an interval [a,b),
not [a,a+b), so this function taking argument names a and b feels
unnatural. Use more explicit names "offset" and "len" to make the
arguments' type and function clearer.
While at it, rename the function to convey that we are making sure
the sum of this offset and length do not overflow an off_t, not a
size_t.

advice from Thomas Rast, Dmitry Ivankov, and David Barr]

Introduce a "max_off" field in struct sliding_view, roughly
representing a maximum number of bytes that can be read from "file".
If it is set to a nonnegative integer, a call to move_window()
attempting to put the right endpoint beyond that offset will return
an error instead.
The idea is to use this when applying Subversion-format deltas to
prevent reads past the end of the preimage (which has known length).
Without such a check, corrupt deltas would cause svn-fe to block
indefinitely when data in the input pipe is exhausted.

Each section of a Subversion-format delta only requires examining (and
keeping in random-access memory) a small portion of the preimage. At
any moment, this portion starts at a certain file offset and has a
well-defined length, and as the delta is applied, the portion advances
from the beginning to the end of the preimage. Add a move_window
function to keep track of this view into the preimage.
You can use it like this:
buffer_init(f, NULL);
struct sliding_view window = SLIDING_VIEW_INIT(f);
move_window(&window, 3, 7); /* (1) */
move_window(&window, 5, 5); /* (2) */
move_window(&window, 12, 2); /* (3) */
strbuf_release(&window.buf);
buffer_deinit(f);
The data structure is called sliding_view instead of _window to
prevent confusion with svndiff0 Windows.
In this example, (1) reads 10 bytes and discards the first 3;
(2) discards the first 2, which are not needed any more; and (3) skips
2 bytes and reads 2 new bytes to work with.
When move_window returns, the file position indicator is at position
window->off + window->width and the data from positions window->off to
the current file position are stored in window->buf.
This function performs only sequential access from the input file and
never seeks, so it can be safely used on pipes and sockets.
On end-of-file, move_window silently reads less than the caller
requested. On other errors, it prints a message and returns -1.
