    From the standard (C11, 6.2.5/9, emphasis mine):

    […] A computation involving unsigned operands can never overflow,
    because a result that cannot be represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is
    reduced modulo the number that is one greater than the largest value that can be
    represented by the resulting type
    .

    If UINT_MAX is 10:

    (10 + 1) % (10 + 1) == 0
    

    So, yes, it’s safe to assume it’s zero.
