>Description:
The following macros pollute the namespace of <limits.h>
because it includes <sys/syslimits.h>. This violates ISO 9899:1990
("ISO C"):
#define COLL_WEIGHTS_MAX
#define ARG_MAX
#define BC_STRING_MAX
#define BC_DIM_MAX
#define OPEN_MAX
#define MAX_INPUT
#define BC_SCALE_MAX
#define EXPR_NEST_MAX
#define RE_DUP_MAX
#define MAX_CANON
#define BC_BASE_MAX
#define LINE_MAX
#define PIPE_BUF
#define LINK_MAX
#define NGROUPS_MAX
#define NAME_MAX
#define PATH_MAX
#define CHILD_MAX
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
FIX: wrap those definitions in <sys/syslimits.h> in a
#if !defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) && !defined(__STDC__)
or something appropriate.
