clang -Wabsolute-value on IA-32 architecture complains that "absolute value function 'labs' given an argument of type 'intmax_t' (aka 'long long') but has parameter of type 'long' which may cause truncation of value". Very unlikely for this code though. Nevertheless, add an explicit check for truncation to shut clang up and error out.
