Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).
Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of
sizeof()
expressions, it is safe to use with arguments that have side effects.

I'm confused, you say you won't use it twice, and then you do use it
twice?
The author is asserting that maximum_unsigned_value_of_type() is a
function of sizeof a, which would have no runtime effect.
