--- Comment #6 from RétroX <classixretrox at gmail dot com> 2011-09-17 16:32:18 UTC --- Yeah, I was talking about specifically -std=gnu++0x, because that implies that you're accepting the GNU extensions into the standard. I suppose that in this case, because the standard is so strict, having more than the standard types would probably be a bad idea. However, having numeric_limits for them doesn't seem to have any negative impacts; on systems that support the type, you should be able to get information on the type.
