<p>Contributed by Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve.</p>

<h2>Missing C++ standard library &lt;limits&gt; header workaround
<h2>C++ standard library &lt;limits&gt; header workaround
<a href="../../boost/limits.hpp">boost/limits.hpp</a></h2>

<p>Several Boost libraries require the standard library's &lt;limits&gt;
header, yet this header is not always supplied by non-conforming
compilers and libraries.&nbsp; Header <a href=
"../../boost/limits.hpp">boost/limits.hpp</a> simply includes the
standard library &lt;limits&gt; header if available, otherwise includes
<a href=
"../../boost/detail/limits.hpp">boost/detail/limits.hpp</a>.&nbsp;
BOOST_NO_LIMITS from <a href="../config/config.htm">boost/config.hpp</a>
is used to determine &lt;limits&gt; availability.</p>
header, yet this header doesn't always include all the appropriate
specializations of <code>std::numeric_limits</code>. Header <a href=
"../../boost/limits.hpp">boost/limits.hpp</a> includes the
standard library &lt;limits&gt; header, with some missing specialisations.

<p>Note also the test program <a href=
"../config/test/limits_test.cpp">limits_test.cpp</a></p>

<p>This header used to include a full fallback implementation for libraries
which didn't have the standard &lt;limits&gt; header, but was removed
because such libraries are obsolete, and there were licensing problems
with the fallback implementation.</p>
