These are the best ones that I know of:

https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/seccode/INT32-C.+Ensure+that+operations+on+signed+integers+do+not+result+in+overflow

Even if you dislike these, please take a look at the safety checks for
shifts.  The current postgresql shift functions need to be strengthened,
and it is easy to do.
