-Several Boost libraries require the standard library's <limits> - header, yet this header is not always supplied by non-conforming - compilers and libraries. Header boost/limits.hpp simply includes the - standard library <limits> header if available, otherwise includes - boost/detail/limits.hpp. - BOOST_NO_LIMITS from boost/config.hpp - is used to determine <limits> availability.
+ header, yet this header doesn't always include all the appropriate + specializations ofstd::numeric_limits. Header boost/limits.hpp includes the
+ standard library <limits> header, with some missing specialisations.
Note also the test program limits_test.cpp
+This header used to include a full fallback implementation for libraries + which didn't have the standard <limits> header, but was removed + because such libraries are obsolete, and there were licensing problems + with the fallback implementation.
