It would be great to have checked* utilities which work with all the different kinds of integers.

Once this lands, I think people will want to use it for more than just int64_t. To make this generic we'll need templates, and that introduces a cyclic-dependency problem with APInt.h.

Sorry for not thinking of this earlier, but: wdyt of moving this to Support/CheckedArithmetic.h (or similar)?

Could you move the APInt include up to the right spot?

Please clang-format your diffs.

llvm::function_ref is more appropriate for non-owning callables.

...except it does not work here, and I don't think it's worth it to investigate why

Can you move this out of the llvm namespace, into an anonymous namespace?

I'd rather just have the type of the function be some free template parameter, then, so it's clear the object isn't copied.

include/llvm/Support/CheckedArithmetic.h

Could you elaborate?

I'm suggesting adding 'typename F' to the template parameter list and using F as the type of Op. It's shorter, and since there's no std::function, it signals to the reader that there are no unnecessary copies happening. Taken together this makes the code easier to read.
