Is there an equivalent of the defines in limits.h (ie, INT_MIN and INT_MAX) for the other standard types, like time_t, size_t, ssize_t etc? If so, where? is it part of C89? One of my compilers has a SIZET_MAX but the other (older one) doesn't . . . . I'd guess it's part of C99.

The minimum and maximum values are defined in stdint.h in C99.
[edit]
SIZE_MAX is the maximum for size_t.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Okay. Is there anything wrong with using (size_t)-1 if SIZE_MAX [not SIZET_MAX -- oops] isn't defined?
Code:#ifndef SIZE_MAX #define SIZE_MAX ((size_t)-1) #endif
