is reached by defining specialziations of:
max_value<T>::value min_value<T>::value
just as, at present, in largest_int, there are specializations for integral_rank<T> for each T that is an integral type. Or maybe integral_rank<T> can be modified similar to: template<> struct integral_rank<long> : int_<10> { static long const max_value=LONG_MAX; static long const min_value=LONG_MIN; };
where LONG_MAX and LONG_MIN are, I guess, macros defined in <climits.hpp>. I guess this is where LONG_MAX in: boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessed/plain/vector_c.hpp comes from. OTOH, it seems this is more of a type trait, and maybe such a definition belongs in boost/type_traits. Any thoughts? I'd like to know where's the best place since I currently have a use for it to replace the enum_size in: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/boost/indexed_types/enum_size.hpp?rev=1.1&view=auto
