Checking for overflow of 64-bit integers in C++

int64 myint64::add (int64 a, int64 b) {
    if (MAX_INT64 - a > b) {
        // error condition here.
    }
    return a + b;
}
int64 myint64::mul (int64 a, int64 b) {
    if (MAX_INT64 / a > b) {
        // error condition here.
    }
    return a * b;
