Hello,
trying to compile gmp with clang, I got this error in the C++ testsuite:
In file included from /usr/include/limits.h:152:
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/xopen_lim.h:97:7: error: token is not a valid
binary operator in a preprocessor subexpression
# if INT_MAX == 2147483647

#define INT_MAX (-(INT_MIN+1))

Something in the glibc headers doesn't like the gmp definitions of those
macros. It is easily worked around by including limits.h in gmp-impl.h,
but I see this comment:
/* limits.h is not used in general, since it's an ANSI-ism, and since on
solaris gcc 2.95 under -mcpu=ultrasparc in ABI=32 ends up getting wrong
values (the ABI=64 values).
On Cray vector systems, however, we need the system limits.h since sizes
of signed and unsigned types can differ there, depending on compiler
options (eg. -hnofastmd), making our SHRT_MAX etc expressions fail. For
reference, int can be 46 or 64 bits, whereas uint is always 64 bits; and
short can be 24, 32, 46 or 64 bits, and different for ushort. */
#if defined _CRAY
#include <limits.h>
#endif
So even using autoconf to check if limits.h exists may not be enough. Or
can we ignore the old solaris issue?
