17 Language support library [support]

17.3 Implementation properties [support.limits]

17.3.1 General [support.limits.general]

1
#
The headers <limits> ([limits.syn]), <climits> ([climits.syn]), and <cfloat> ([cfloat.syn]) supply characteristics of implementation-dependent arithmetic types ([basic.fundamental]).

17.3.2 Header <version> synopsis [version.syn]

1
#
The header <version> supplies implementation-dependent information about the C++ standard library (e.g., version number and release date).
2
#
Each of the macros defined in <version> is also defined after inclusion of any member of the set of library headers indicated in the corresponding comment in this synopsis.
[ Note
:
Future versions of this International Standard might replace the values of these macros with greater values.

#
The rounding mode for floating-point arithmetic is characterized by the values:
  • (1.1)
    round_­indeterminate if the rounding style is indeterminable
  • (1.2)
    round_­toward_­zero if the rounding style is toward zero
  • (1.3)
    round_­to_­nearest if the rounding style is to the nearest representable value
  • (1.4)
    round_­toward_­infinity if the rounding style is toward infinity
  • (1.5)
    round_­toward_­neg_­infinity if the rounding style is toward negative infinity

#
The presence or absence of subnormal numbers (variable number of exponent bits) is characterized by the values:
  • (1.1)
    denorm_­indeterminate if it cannot be determined whether or not the type allows subnormal values
  • (1.2)
    denorm_­absent if the type does not allow subnormal values
  • (1.3)
    denorm_­present if the type does allow subnormal values

For all members declared static constexpr in the numeric_­limits template, specializations shall define these values in such a way that they are usable as constant expressions.

The default numeric_­limits<T> template shall have all members, but with 0 or false values.

#
Specializations shall be provided for each arithmetic type, both floating-point and integer, including bool.
The member is_­specialized shall be true for all such specializations of numeric_­limits.

#
The value of each member of a specialization of numeric_­limits on a cv-qualified type cv T shall be equal to the value of the corresponding member of the specialization on the unqualified type T.

Non-arithmetic standard types, such as complex<T>, shall not have specializations.
