Overflow Flag

In computer processors, the overflow flag (sometimes called V flag) is usually a single bit in a system status register used to indicate when an arithmetic overflow has occurred in an operation, indicating that the signed two's-complement result would not fit in the number of bits used for the operation (the ALU width). Some architectures may be configured to automatically generate an exception on an operation resulting in overflow.
