gcc provides... "interesting" features at times.
/* for unsigned "i"s */
#define base10len(i) ((const int[]){1,3,5,8,10,13,15,17,20}[i])
But enumerating it (using your ULONG_MAX_STR proposal) should be
sufficient, since there is only a limited number of types that get e.g.
sprintf'ed into a buffer.
Something else tho, it seems some don't know that sizeof("") is already
1, and an extra \0 is often unneeded, like in:
arch/um/drivers/net_user.c: char addr_buf[sizeof("255.255.255.255\0")];
