This is wrong. array_size() returns ULONG_MAX on 64bits upon overflow and
returns UINT_MAX on 32bits upon overflow. However, UINT_MAX is a valid
value without overflow (e.g. vxres == UINT_MAX / 15 && vyres == 15).
Comparing like "> (u64) UINT_MAX" is to detect only overflow.

array_size() would be helpful for forcing memory allocation to fail
(instead of allocating smaller than actually required).
