bbbbaa0d9ac9ae9c9b8109503aa30213eed543b9 Fix unsigned integer overflows in interpreter (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Unsigned integer overflow is well defined by the language and in some cases even useful or necessary. However, I think that it should be avoided in interpreter, as it makes the code harder to read and requires the whole file to be suppressed in the sanitizer. This puts more burden on reviewers to check that any changes to interpreter that involve unsigned integer overflow are sane.
This patch involves a few changes:
* Evaluate the addition in 64-bit "space". Previously, the first argument was `size_t` (unsigned, 32-bit or 64-bit, depending on platform) and the second was `int` (32-bit on all supported platforms). Thus the addition was done in 32-bit or 64-bit "unsigned space". Now the addition is done in 64-bit "signed space" on all platforms. This is safe because signed integer overflow (UB) isn't expected here with 64-bit integers.
* Clarify that the value passed to the "stack macros" always fits in an `int64_t`. This is done with the C++11 syntax `int64_t{i}`, which fails to compile if `i` needs to be narrowed to fit into `int64_t`.
* Explicitly convert the result of the addition to `size_t`. This isn't needed, because the called function already converts the value (see https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector/operator_at), however I have a slight preference for the explicit cast. (Happy to remove if reviewers prefer without)
The patch does not change the bitcoind binary on my 64-bit system with `clang++ -O2`. However, it does change with gcc.

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.
What is Bitcoin Core?
Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.
Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled during the generation of the build system) with: ctest. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: build/test/functional/test_runner.py
(assuming build is your build directory).
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
