- I apologize in advance if this a FAQ, but I'm new to the group and
- haven't seen this question asked yet nor seen the FAQ location.
-
- <limits.h> is supposed to define MB_LEN_MAX. Is it permissible for a
- conforming implementation to define MB_LEN_MAX in terms of another
- type, where that other type is not declared in <limits.h>? In other
- words, do header files have to be complete in themselves, or can they
- require other header files to also be included, in order to be
- usable?
-
- A colleague and I are disagreeing over this and so I wanted to request
- an outside opinion.
-
- Thanks,
- Glenn
