There's no 64-bit ADD instruction, so we make do with ADD+ADC. This is
what Clang generates. ICC uses the two as well, but then performs some
subtractions to find out if it overflowed. GCC for some inexplicable
reason attempts to use SSE2 if that's enabled, otherwise it performs the
subtractions like ICC.
Alternative implementation which generates better code, but violates
strict aliasing:
uint *low = reinterpret_cast<uint *>(r);
uint *high = low + 1;
return _addcarry_u32(_addcarry_u32(0, unsigned(v1), unsigned(v2), low),
v1 >> 32, v2 >> 32, high);
Manual testing shows this works. tst_qnumeric passes in debug mode. MSVC
2017 15.9 still miscompiles in release mode (reported to MS as [1]).
