Description Craig Rodrigues 2003-04-01 14:50:05 UTC

As part of my effort to add WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX macros to
<wchar.h>, an interesting discussion ensued on -standards.
Mike Barcroft suggested that:
 - <machine/limits.h> should be deprecated with a warning
 - <sys/limits.h> should be created
 - a private header file <machine/_limits.h> should be created

Once this patch is accepted, I will submit a followup patch
which adds WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX macros to <wchar.h>, by including
<machine/_limits.h>, and defining those macros using the underscore
prefixed macros, ie. #define WCHAR_MIN __WCHAR_MIN

Craig,

the patch looks OK, but I think this should be handled through repo-copy
so that the history on deprecated files will get lost.

I already submitted a repo-copy  request. I will handle the rest when
files are ready.
