If they weren't defined, could generic code work with them? The GCC specialization for the int type includes all of the members, even the ones that are only applicable to floating-point values, so I did too.
How generic code could work if the returned values are not applicable, not significant. I would prefer a compile error than a runtime error. ...
std::numeric_limits comes from C++ standard so you must consult the standard to figure out why is std::numeric_limits designed the way it is
I think if std::numeric_limits<T>::is_bounded is false, then min and max are "defined" to be meaningless.
Thanks for clarification. It is much better in this way. Best, Vicente
