18 Language support library [language.support]

All members shall be provided for all specializations. However, many values are only required to be meaningful under certain conditions (for example, epsilon() is only meaningful if is_integer is false). Any value that is not “meaningful” shall be set to 0 or false.

[ Example:

namespace std {
  template<> class numeric_limits<float> {
  public:
    static constexpr bool is_specialized = true;

    inline static constexpr float min() noexcept { return 1.17549435E-38F; }
    inline static constexpr float max() noexcept { return 3.40282347E+38F; }
    inline static constexpr float lowest() noexcept { return -3.40282347E+38F; }

    static constexpr int digits   = 24;
    static constexpr int digits10 =  6;
    static constexpr int max_digits10 =  9;

    static constexpr bool is_signed  = true;
    static constexpr bool is_integer = false;
    static constexpr bool is_exact   = false;

    static constexpr int radix = 2;
    inline static constexpr float epsilon() noexcept     { return 1.19209290E-07F; }
    inline static constexpr float round_error() noexcept { return 0.5F; }

    static constexpr int min_exponent   = -125;
    static constexpr int min_exponent10 = - 37;
    static constexpr int max_exponent   = +128;
    static constexpr int max_exponent10 = + 38;

    static constexpr bool has_infinity             = true;
    static constexpr bool has_quiet_NaN            = true;
    static constexpr bool has_signaling_NaN        = true;
    static constexpr float_denorm_style has_denorm = denorm_absent;
    static constexpr bool has_denorm_loss          = false;

    inline static constexpr float infinity()      noexcept { return value; }
    inline static constexpr float quiet_NaN()     noexcept { return value; }
    inline static constexpr float signaling_NaN() noexcept { return value; }
    inline static constexpr float denorm_min()    noexcept { return min(); }

    static constexpr bool is_iec559  = true;

    static constexpr bool is_modulo  = false;
    static constexpr bool traps      = true;

The specialization for bool shall be provided as follows:

     static constexpr int  min_exponent = 0;
     static constexpr int  min_exponent10 = 0;
     static constexpr int  max_exponent = 0;
