Hi Achim.

You are right, INT_MAX is the C++ constant to compare to.
It is defined in limits.h

I'm not sure I want to locate limits.h (where is it ? are there several
versions ?),
and parse it, all from within Emacs-lisp...
And this will have to be done for all languages (Python, Perl, Java, and
so on),
not just C++.

Or we could assume that INT_MAX is always 2147483647.
(Which of course is not true).

Not so easy...

Regards
Thierry
