Various platform-dependent constants proposed by ANSI

 Constants
CHAR_BIT
Length of a char variable in bits.
CHAR_MAX
Maximal value which can be stored in a char variable.
CHAR_MIN
Minimal value which can be stored in a char variable.
INT_MAX
Maximal value which can be stored in an int variable.
INT_MIN
Minimal value which can be stored in an int variable.
LONG_MAX
Maximal value which can be stored in a long int variable.
LONG_MIN
Minimal value which can be stored in a long int variable.
SCHAR_MAX
Maximal value which can be stored in a signed char variable.
SCHAR_MIN
Minimal value which can be stored in a signed char variable.
SHRT_MAX
Maximal value which can be stored in a short int variable.
SHRT_MIN
Minimal value which can be stored in a short int variable.
UCHAR_MAX
Maximal value which can be stored in an unsigned char variable.
UINT_MAX
Maximal value which can be stored in an unsigned int variable.
ULONG_MAX
Maximal value which can be stored in an unsigned long int variable.
USHRT_MAX
Maximal value which can be stored in an unsigned short variable.

Note: CHAR_MAX and CHAR_MIN may have different values depending on whether chars are signed or not. They are signed by default in TIGCC, but this may be changed using a compiler command-line switch. Similarly, INT_MAX, INT_MIN, and UINT_MAX depend on whether short or long integers are used.
